Old Trafford side ready to mount moves for multiple talents.
Check in to Manchester United vs Manchester City
Man United are readying themselves for a very busy summer transfer window as David Moyes lines up moves for six potential additions.
CaughtOffside understands that the Old Trafford boss is armed with a substantial transfer war-chest which could be as high as £200m and will look to put his stamp on the squad he inherited from former boss Sir Alex Ferguson.
Moyes will make room for new additions by offloading squad members he feels are surplus to requirements and will also set about freshening up his defence with Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand and Patrice Evra all seeing their Man United contracts expiring in a matter of months.
The Man United manager is readying a bid of £12m for Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata as he looks to strengthen his attack whilst also planning for the future.
The 21 year old Bernabeu forward is considered one of the hottest prospects in Spanish football, Morata has scored 13 goals in 12 appearances for the Under 21 national team, and is said to be frustrated by his lack of first team chances at Real Madrid.
Morata may have expected to be playing second fiddle to Frenchman Karim Benzema, who has formed part of a prolific front three alongside wide-men Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale, but the fact that fellow youngster Jese Rodriguez is also ahead of him in the Real Madrid pecking order is said to be pushing him towards an imminent exit from the Spanish capital club.
With speculation over Robin Van Persie’s future and Moyes ready to sell Mexican Javier Hernandez, there will be space for the addition of Morata in the Man United ranks.
