Coral’s rumour reel: Man Utd chasing another Argentine?

Manchester United, 5/1 chances with Coral to win the Premier League, are back in the transfer mix this morning, with two more midfielders tipped to join the Old Trafford outfit.

Lazio’s Lucas Biglia is believed to be a £17.5m target for Louis van Gaal after the Argentine helped the Eagles to a top three spot in Serie A last term, while United are also reportedly challenging Arsenal and Chelsea for out-of-favour Real Madrid anchorman Lucas Silva.

Since the Red Devils are already well-stocked in their engine room, attacking additions should be top priority and, after defeating Tottenham in their opening Premier League outing, United are once again said to be tracking Spurs striker Harry Kane. Rumour has it that the capital club could now be convinced to part with the poacher for an unspecified eye-watering sum.

Elsewhere at Old Trafford, a long-mooted move for Barcelona forward Pedro could be postponed after reports suggested Nou Camp clubmate Neymar had fallen ill, meaning Luis Enrique may try to keep his attacking cover in Catalonia.

Javier Hernandez, meanwhile, could finally make a £12m move away from Manchester, as West Ham United, 14/1 for a top six finish, continue to circle the Mexico striker.

Across town at the Emirates, Manchester City are rumoured to be ready to fork out £45m for Wolfsburg playmaker Kevin De Bruyne, while Die Wolfe sporting director Klaus Allofs cast doubts over the Belgian’s long-term future.

“I think some other clubs have definitely turned Kevin’s head,” stated the Bundesliga big-wig. “Let’s be honest about it – it’s highly unlikely that he’ll stay with us right up until 2019.”
