da wazamba: Manchester United are prepared to enter the race for Brazilian star Ganso according to talkSPORT.
da betsson: Sir Alex Ferguson has turned his attention to the Sao Paulo midfielder in case he is unsuccessful in his attempts to sign Inter Milan’s Wesley Sneijder.
The Dutchman’s move to Old Trafford is far from certain and Ganso is being lined up as a back-up plan.
It was thought that the samba star was heading to AC Milan but now it seems the Red Devils and French side Paris Saint-Germain are lining up moves.
Milan were hoping to quickly tie up a £26 million deal for the 21-year-old that would bring him to Italy.
But the news that United are preparing a bid could sway Ganso into moving to England.
PSG are also in the running and could outbid both clubs with the backing of Qatar Sports investments supplying their funds although the choice between Milan and Manchester should be a no brainer.
Ferguson is keen to strengthen his midfield options after the retirement of Paul Scholes and failed emergence of Darron Gibson. It has left the United boss worried about the strength in depth as he looks to defend the Premier League title in the coming season.
