Man United need £16m Man More but Arsenal Should be Favorites If Interested

Former gunner star Alex Song may as well be available for sale in the January transfer market.
The midfielder departed Emirates last year to join Barcelona but has not been able to find regular playing time and the Catalan side may look to offload him.
Express suggests that Barcelona are still deciding whether to let him leave or not and will want at least an amount equal to what they paid to hire him i.e. £16m.
Manchester United have been looking for a quality passer all summer long but failed to lure Alcantara and Fabregas. In the end, Fellaini was the answer but perhaps not a perfect one.
United were interested in luring Song in the summer as well and might be interested again if he is available.
However, Arsenal are well aware of his qualities and should be favorites if they are interested in luring him in winter. In fact, Wenger must revive interest to lure him back.
Song damaged his relationship with Arsenal fans to an extent when he left for Barca and he will further destroy it if he joins United. Perhaps this will be a chance to fix it.
Not only is he a good defensive midfielder but adds to attack as he regularly provided assists in his last season for the London Side.
Arsenal are flying high and United are not for now. If the scenario remains the same in January then that may also influence Song’s decision.
