Chelsea and the Red Devils go head-to-head for the £20m signing of Alex Song
However, there is more positive news for the club in the pursuit of former Arsenal ace Song, with the FC Barcelona exodus set to continue with the sale of the Cameroon international.
Spanish daily Mundo Deportivo reports that the Catalans are willing to sell the 26-year-old for £20m this summer after he has failed to truly settle at the Nou Camp following a 2012 switch from the Gunners.
The Red Devils will face strong competition for Song though, with the Blues, Inter Milan, Napoli and Olympique Marseille also thought to be interested.
