by Matt Holmes

The Daily Star. If confirmed, the 26-year-old defender will join the Premier League Champions elect when the transfer window re-opens in the summer. Old Trafford boss Sir. Alex Ferguson has been chasing Garay's signature for months after watching him put in a number of consistently great performances for his Portuguese club. European Champions Chelsea and Spanish giants Barcelona were also said to be keen on Garay, but it's The Red Devils who have seemingly won the race to sign the defender. Garay had spent three years at Real Madrid before moving to Benfica in 2011 for a fee believed to have been ‚5.5 million where he has been first choice defender. He has 11 caps for Argentina and he was previously on the books of Racing Santander. For United, he will likely be the first of long-term replacements for Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic, who have both had their fair share of persistent injuries.
