Valencia’s Spanish winger David Silva could be heading to Manchester United , according to a report in The Sun this morning.

In an article linking David Villa with both Manchester City and Chelsea, Geoff Sweet claims Silva will be available and Silva is also available in the summer and "Manchester United are sure to fancy the attacking midfielder, who may fetch up to £20million."

Valencia have been undergoing financial problems in recent months and it looks likely that both Silva and Villa will leave the Mestalla.

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is expected to be in the market for a left winger as an eventual replacement for Ryan Giggs .

Barcelona are also expected to compete with Manchester United for the signing of Silva, Pep Guardiola reportedly believes the Spanish winger could replace Thierry Henry in the left forward position.

David Silva, 24, has been in fine form for Valencia in 2009/2010, scoring six goals and providing six assists in 28 appearances.

Manchester United have no chance of getting David Silva if he leaves Valencia he will go to Barcelona or Real Madrid. Sorry all you London based Man Utd fans but you will have to carry on with the old boy Giggs. Real Madrid will become champions this season come on Real.

@STEVEN G IDIOT 1

Yeh, and how many Londoners support Liverpool, most people i know support Liverpool, and im talking about Londoners. IDIOT, so you have a problem with your own fans? Grow Up.

You're deluded Steven, old chap. Real Madrid won't win anything because they are simply not a team - they're just a bunch of overpriced, highly paid and once talented players whose talent slowly decays as their careers stall. The main reason is that you haven't got a decent manager - oh but you're about to solve that aren't you with that clown Benitez thereby ensuring you'll never win anything for years.

First to the stupid muppert called J-BO what a name I dont support Liverpool or Manchester United idoit try reading what I write. Second I support the greatest club in the world Real Madrid. And last my freind Dave J I dont think that Rafa will come to Real this summer I hope we keep the manger that we have because he will get it right.

Real don't have talented players Ramos Casillas Benzema Ronaldo Higuain Kaka ok not been great but he will come good Pepe Alonso Canales next season oh yes Real have a bunch of clowns grow up. Real will be champions this season and all you idoits will be eating your words.

Real do have good players but they are sh∗t at Madrid. They need to go elsewhere, imagine how good Kaka and Benzema would be at Man Utd or Chelsea. When Ribery goes to Madrid for the money, he'll be sh∗t too! Also, Madrid need to learn from Barcelona!!

sing both silva and villa plss Sir ALEX THE PLAYEARS ARE EXELLENT WITH ROONEY IN ATTAC AND vvilla no one club cant beat manchester i promis comonn united 4 lifeee lovee uu

I guess Real Madrid who so called buy players ......but where does the money come from its all through Loans ....
Now they have taken huge amount of loans in signing Ronaldo , Kaka , Benzema , Alonso .....i guess its sort of wasted only ronaldo has the potential to thrive any where because he was a player made in Manchester United
Kaka looks to be in a team where passing football is not a priority .....so he is a a big failure ....Benzema has made the biggest mistake by signing for Real MADRID because he is already feeling like leaving them .......thats quite true ........
And yes Silva will come to United or go to barca because they are the teams that play the football that he can fit in .. so sorry Real Madrid .......

Can someone please take the Hillsborough comment off here. Utter guff like that has no place here. Man United should forget about Silva, he's no better then Nani and would come into the team wanting to play week in week out. Why not sign David Alaba to challenge for Nani's spot while also giving us another option when Evra is out. Bring Javier Pastore in to replace the aging Scholes? Both top quality young players who would thrive at OT.

REAL CAN SIGN WHOEVER, IF THEY SIGN SILVA, VILLA AND RIBERY, UNITED COULD MAYBE SIGN LUKAKU, AGUERO, KRASIC, DI MARIA,VELOSO..LOTS OF TOP PLAYERS OUT THERE FOR MAN UTD!
