UNITED TELL VALENCIA TO 'NAME PRICE'

~

Sunday's premier rumour rag reports that Manchester United will use Wednesday's friendly against Valencia for more than a fitness exercise, claiming they will meet the Spanish top brass and tell them to 'name their price' for David Silva.

The paper has a good crack at predicting their response, floating the figure of £25million, and United might be willing to deal despite saying they wouldn't be buying anyone else this summer.

United are also apparently interested in David Villa, and The People claims they will ask about him too on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, The Sunday Express claims United are counting out the coppers in preparation for a bid for Sergio Kun Aguero.

Apparently Aguero is seen as the ideal replacement for Carlos Tevez, and Fergie is weighing up a bid of around £35million.

And back to The News of the World now, and they claim United are about to call off a potential deal for Brazilian winger Douglas Costa over 'concerns about the player's private life'.

Costa was apparently arrested for driving without a license last week, this after being dressed down by his club for habitual lateness and a 'party lifestyle'. Interestingly, despite this 'party lifestyle', he apparently doesn't drink.
