Sir Alex Ferguson is chasing another prodigy after targeting
Barcelona's hot prospect Giovani Dos Santos.
The Manchester United boss, who has already signed Portuguese
whizzkid Nani and Brazilian starlet Anderson this summer, is
keeping tabs on the 18-year-old Mexican.
Barcelona are anxious to tie Giovani down to a long-term contract
which would increase his £20m buy-out clause.
But Giovani's recent performances have attracted interest across
Europe. Giovani has recently switched agents to Portuguese Jorge
Mendes who also looks after Jose Mourinho and has done several
deals for Manchester United. Barcelona sporting director Tixiki
Beguristain said: "It is normal for a player of his talent to
receive interest from other clubs.
"But I am calm and we are confident that he will stay and sign a
new contract with Barcelona."
