Manchester United are to make an audacious move to snatch Real Madrid midfielder Nuri Sahin from under the noses of bitter Premier League rivals Arsenal.
Caught Offside claims that Fergie “is set to enter the race” for the 23-year-old attacking midfielder who had looked certain to join Arsenal on a season long loan deal after Madrid boss Jose Mourinho admitted that he was open to allowing the Turkish international to leave the Bernabeu this summer.
The former Borussia Dortmund midfielder has struggled to become a first team regular in La Liga, making only four appearances since he joined Madrid in an £8 million move last summer. After finding it nearly impossible to break into Madrid’s title winning side and get ahead of the likes of Mesut Ozil, Kaka, Xabi Alonso and Esteban Granero, presumably he would be pleased by the opportunity of a new start in the Premier League. Whilst Arsenal are looking at a temporary deal, Caught Offside reports that United could well make a £18 million bid for Nahin to permanently bring him to Old Trafford.
Sir Alex Ferguson’s Red Devils have been linked with numerous attacking midfielders over the summer and after the club’s chief operating officer Michael Bolingbroke revealed earlier in the week, Fergie has so far just spent around £20 million of the £40 million he has to spend this summer. Will he use a large chunk of that on a move for Sahin?

Sir A.F Ple try 2 sign L M or ericsion ple so that we can reclaim our lost trophy.
If only this was true.
Sahin would be a brilliant to our midfield – playing along side anderson/ cleverley/carrick in the middle…to release kagawa or lucas moura…
‘first thing, first’… get a left back and solid defensive mildfielder ‘Ball winner’
Matteo your right there,sahin he will lighten up the middlefield,they must not miss on this guy like they have done to ozil and moura
If v.p will me in man u will the best forever
When he was in germany, Nuri was playing so well, hes game was amazing and getting better each year, as soon as he went to real he was just a bench warmer that was such a down fall for this young talented players career. I move to man u would be amazing and if he were against his old team and won that would be even more amazing, GO SAHIN DO THE REST OF THE SAHINS PROUD!
