Spanish stars to United and other transfer rumours

Manchester United are hot on the heels of Spanish stars David Villa and David Silva. The duo are set to leave Valencia because the club is in a dire financial state. And with United rolling in spare cash from Cristiano Ronaldo’s sale to Real Madrid, Sir Alex Ferguson is ready to write a £40m cheque to bring the strikers to Old Trafford. Elsewhere, Liverpool are chasing Sampdoria midfielder Koman Vladimir who is valued at £4m as well as £16.5m rated Valencia winger Juan Mata, Juventus have made a £6m bid for Manchester City full-back Pablo Zabaleta and Birmingham City have been linked to Glasgow Rangers striker Kris Boyd.
