Manchester United to Sign Star Midfielder for Cheap?

Arsenal and Chelsea have been mainly in the lime light to lure Real Madrid star Sami Khedira who seems to have no more future with the Spanish giants.
The German international is arguably one of the best holding midfielders around and with his contract expiring in the summer, it is likely that Real may let him go in the winter transfer window for cheap.
Chelsea already one a top defensive mid star in Nemanja Matic, who is currently irreplaceable. On the other hand, Mikel is there to cover as well.
Khedira was signed by Jose Mourinho during his time at the Bernabeu and hence the links are there since the player looks to move to premier league.
On the other hand, Arsenal clearly lack a top central defensive midfielder. Hence they look to sign Khedira. With so many German stars already there, Khedira may be attracted by the prospect of moving to the Emirates Stadium.
However, as per latest reports, there is a new competitor in the lime light and that is Manchester United.
The Red Devils desperately need a holding mid as well to improve their terrible defense. As per the provided link, United are ready to sign Khedira for $16 million.
The most important question though, will Khedira be willing to move to United given that Chelsea and Arsenal are better options as far as football is concerned.
United can obviously offer insane wages to attract him. We shall see how the saga unfolds in winter.
