MANCHESTER UNITED will bid £30million for
Seville stars Luis Fabiano and Dani Alves this week. Boss Alex
Ferguson is wasting no time in strengthening his squad for next
season and expects to strike a deal for the Brazilians. Sun can
reveal United chief scout Martin Ferguson has watched the pair 10
TIMES in the last three months.
Alves, 25, is seen as the long-term replacement at
right-back for Gary Neville while Fabiano, 27, will add presence
and goals to the attack. The hitman, who has netted 33 times in 38
games this season, is only part-owned by the club — 65 per cent of
his registration is owned by a private investment group similar to
the Carlos Tevez situation last season.
Both players are regular starters for Brazil and Alves
is regarded as the best attacking right-back in the world. Fergie’s
first choice was Porto’s Jose Bosingwa but he got beaten to the
Portugal player’s signature by Chelsea on Monday.
Alves was a Blues target last summer but they refused
to pay his £24m tag.
