Manchester United are in a brilliant position to automatically qualify for next season’s Champions League group stage.
A win against neighbors Manchester City will surely make things more comfortable and the kind of form Red Devils are in, they can surely beat the Citizens.
Next season though, United have to step up and challenge for the premier league crown and for that key positions need to be filled with top stars.
One of the key positions is right full back and United are closing in to sign Barcelona star Dani Alves.
For now, Valencia plays there for Louis van Gaal but Alves is a natural and arguably a complete full back.
According to reports, Manchester United are all clear to sign Alves this summer as it has been confirmed by his agent that Catalan superstar will move away from Barcelona at the end of the season.
“We waited a whole year to talk to Barca. We had two offers on the table, but we stopped all negotiations to listen to what Barca had to say.”
“There is another club willing to give Dani a three-year contract with a higher wage, plus the option of another year. But Barca told us they could not get near those figures.”
Although as per the provided link, Liverpool are interested as well but take into consideration the words of his agent Express previously reported that United have offered Alves huge three year contract.
Also, United do not have any rigid pay structure and are more likely to meet Alves’ demands as compared to Liverpool.

Alves though experience is in his grey days and he’s not a long term project.Why not Clyne as expected?
Alves is a waste of time, we need a young right back who can slot to that position for years to come, alves provides a rigid experience but his age and weekly wages is a problem, clyne with his epl experience is final or give Rafael a chance to show his quality,
Dani Alves is old. I recommend Clyne and Rafael to fight for the right back position. Valencia has done well. His sin is that he is not a natural right back and he can continue playing in that position if Clyne is not coming.
cole man and Rafeal are more preferable than him.
Man utd topping the list of English football team bidding most for players this two season now but at the end of it all I pray it won’t be another Luke shaw Falcao Di Maria waste of Money cuz it hurt all the money wasted on this players without No trophy nor at least community shield to show for it.
