Bertolo.
MANCHESTER United are closing in on £4million-rated
Argentine midfielder Nicolas Bertolo.
United have sent scouts to South America to watch the Banfield
player who is aware of their interest.
Bertolo said: “Nothing is concrete. All I know is that United
received passes to watch my games. It would be a dream to play for
United. I would definitely be tempted.”
Bertolo has also attracted the interest of Italian clubs Lazio
and Juventus but United are in pole position to sign him.
United are also set to win the race for Royal Antwerp’s teenage
talent Charni Ekangamene. The 15-year-old striker impressed United
during a trial spell and is set to sign for them on his 16th
birthday later this year.
Ekangamene has also been pursued by Arsenal, Chelsea and Ajax
but Antwerp is an official feeder club for United.
United will hand new contracts to the da Silva brothers, Rafael
and Fabio. Boss Sir Alex Ferguson has been so impressed with the
Brazilian pair he is set to double their £3,000 a week wages.
