United and the Gunners interested in Atletico Madrid’s Alessio Cerci
The Italy international is being linked with a move away from the Vicente Calderon Stadium less than six months after joining from Torino.
Cerci joined the Spanish champions for £13m, but is yet to start a match under Diego Simeone and the Daily Express says he could leave for England.
The 27-year-old has 14 caps for the Italian national team to date and has drawn interest from Man United and the North Londoners.
David de Gea set for Emirates Stadium clash despite finger injury
The goalkeeper dislocated his finger whilst on international duty with Spain and was expected to spend several weeks on the sidelines as a result.
However, the Daily Mail reports that de Gea will be back sooner than expected and could play against the Gunners on Saturday.
This will be music to the ears of manager Louis van Gaal who is suffering a selection headache currently because of the amount of injuries to his squad.
Angel di Maria to have x-ray on damaged foot
The midfielder picked up the problem whilst playing for Argentina during the 1-0 international friendly loss to Portugal on Tuesday.
Di Maria had his right foot trodden on by Red Devils loanee Nani and now needs the issue x-raying, but the 26-year-old is confident it is nothing serious.
“It was just a blow. I hope it doesn’t swell any more so I can play at the weekend,” the Argentine was quoted by the Guardian.
Man United will not be signing Victor Valdes says de Gea
With the No.1’s contract expiring in 2016 and him being heavily liked with a move to Real Madrid, many thought van Gaal would sign a replacement.
Former FC Barcelona goalkeeper Valdes has been training with the squad as he continues his recovery from a cruciate ligament injury, but de Gea says the 32-year-old will not be his replacement.
“Yes, my contract runs out in 2016. But they didn’t sign him for that,” the 24-year-old was quoted by the Mirror.
