Arsenal lost the competition to sign French international Morgan Schneiderlin this summer as the defensive midfielder eventually joined Manchester United.
The Gunners will surely be furious if they lose out on another defensive midfield target to the Red Devils. The player in discussion this time around is Brazilian and Real Madrid star Lucas Silva.
Metro cite reports in Spain claiming that Manchester United have moved in for the talented Samba star and are ready to beat Arsenal to secure his signature.
As per the provided link, the Red Devils are very keen to sign Silva who is rated around $15 million.
The 22-year-old Selecao star joined the Los Blacos last January and could mostly warm the bench in the second half of the season. Lucas featured in 8 league games (3 starts) and one Champions League fixture for the European Giants.
In my opinion, the reports are by no means concrete as the Red Devils have already added a quality DM in Schneiderlin and must now reinforce other key departments.
