Manchester United boss
Sir Alex Ferguson is considering
reviving a bid for Valencia ace
David Villa.
The Manchester Evening News says the United manager
knows he is well behind Real
Madrid and Barcelona in the queue of top clubs lining up for
the Valencia striker.
Chelsea and
Liverpool are also hoping to
lure him to the Premier
League.
But Fergie believes there is the chance of nipping in ahead of
his rivals after learning of Villa's increasing frustration over
his failure to find a new club this summer.
The 27-year-old wants to remain in Spain with Real and Barca his
preferred options.
But as yet no move has materialised and the Spanish
international is becoming increasingly restless.
Fergie has monitored his situation closely and sources in Spain
claim he is ready to meet Valencia's £38m valuation. The danger is that
Villa's representatives will use United's interest as a bargaining
tool to force the hand of either Real or Barca.
