Manchester United are set to offer Valencia £35million for star striker David Villa, one of the most coveted players in world football.
United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has sent scouts to check on Villa on a regular basis, and, according to the Daily Star, he is keen to pair the Spaniard with World Player of the Year candidate Wayne Rooney, in a strike duo that would be unmatched in world football.
The 28-year-old hitman has the interest of many of the top clubs in the world, and Manchester United will face tough competition from Chelsea, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool to sign the Spain international.
A treble in Thurday night’s Europa League triumph over Werder Bremen increased Villa’s tally to 22 goals in 34 matches this season.
Villa helped Spain win Euro 2008, finishing as the top scorer in the tournament with four goals, and the striker has an impressive international strike record, scoring 37 times in 55 senior caps.
The Valencia striker still has four years left on his current deal, but with the Spanish club struggling financially, he could be sold for a massive sum this summer.
David Villa definitely a great player. His is already scored 121 goals in 223 outings for Valencia and 37 in 55 internationals for Spain. His ratio for Spain is much impressive than Raul Gonzalez. But he is already 28 years old. I believed United policy is to buy young players. In this case Benzema is more suitable player. He is the player that suit the premier league. Big, strong and powerful centerforward alike Shearer. Benzema is having tough time in Madrid and said seeking a new lifeline. With Higuan in top form, Benzema will see his chances limited to the bench. And maybe Madrid is also desperate to sell Benzema.
Having Benzema with Rooney would also sharpen United attack. Thus is the same way reduce the burden on Rooney. Maybe no need to offload Berbatov. He is still United main player. Both would fight a place along side Rooney. With Owen as another striker, United would have four world class striker. That would be awesome.
