Super Hero set for Old Trafford

Manchester United are ready to add a super hero to their already impressive armoury of strike options! According to a report in the News of the World newspaper on Sunday, the reigning EPL champions are chasing Brazilian striker Hulk who plays for Portugal giants Porto. The Red Devils are said to be offering £20m for the muscular striker. The 23-year-old, whose real name is Givanildo Vieira de Souza, got his nickname because of his stocky physique and resemblance to an actor who played the Incredible Hulk in a 1970s TV series. If he moves to Old Trafford, he will afford manager Sir Alex Ferguson another strike option alongside Dimitar Berbatov, Wayne Rooney, Michael Owen and Danny Wellbeck.
