Manchester United remain determined to add a quality signing to their forward options and are now targeting Valencia's David Silva.After struggling to acquire the services of Dimitar Berbatov from Spurs this summer - although the deal is far from dead - Fergie is now thought to have set his sights on Silva with the Old Trafford outfit believed to have lodged a ?20m bid.
However, they still face a fight with Barcelona if they are to land the Euro 2008 winner, with the Catalan outfit thought to be favourites to sign him and desperate to add his services as they look to try and wrestle the La Liga title back from arch rivals Real Madrid.
United fans considering using their £25 free bet on the champions retaining their Premier League crown will be awaiting developments, as Silva appears set to hold talks with Valencia officials this week to discuss his future at the Mestella.
Barcelona have already submitted a formal bid themselves - thought to be around ?23m - and with Silva thought to be keen to stay in Spain, the Nou Camp could well be his next destination.
United though will be hoping that Valencia are not keen on selling to one of their La Liga rivals, which would effectively make them favourites for his signature, as Liverpool are seemingly out of the running given the sums of money being talked about.
