Manchester United supporters here inside the Football Transfer Tavern are off to the bar to see the article from Metro that the landlord is showing everyone – with the publication claiming that the Red Devils could be a matter of days away from signing Barcelona defender Dani Alves.
Alves, 32, has long been mooted with a move away from Camp Nou and this summer looks like the time he will actually depart the La Liga giants, in pursuit of a different challenge.
The Brazilian defender’s contract expires in the summer, so he would subsequently be allowed to leave the Spanish giants on a free transfer.
As our landlord here in the Tavern quips, Alves would undoubtedly add a key element of experience to the Manchester United back-line, and he could prove a key person in van Gaal’s hopes of landing the Premier League trophy next season.
