Man Utd Transfer News: Reds Target Claudio Marchisio?

talkSPORT and further reports in Italy. Veteran manager Sir Alex Ferguson has already revealed to the club's official magazine Inside United that this summer's recruitment drive is now in full swing while new faces in the centre of his midfield are likely to be high up on his agenda. United legends Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes are another year closer to retirement while the likes of Anderson have once more failed to realise their full potential this season. Mediaset claim the Italian midfielder, who has a contract with Juventus until 2016, is now looking for a fresh challenge outside of Serie A and could be tempted by a move to England and the Premier League. The 27-year old has made 26 league appearances this season and has scored six times, and has no doubt learned the tricks of the trade from the evergreen Andrea Pirlo throughout his time with The Old Lady. The versatile midfielder, who is capable of playing both in attack or defence, has remained at Juventus his entire playing career after progressing through the youth ranks there, and has made over 200 appearances since 2005.
