The Mirror:
Manchester United are poised to bid for Brazilian superstar Adriano..
United officials have been privately talking about an imminent arrival "on the scale of Wayne Rooney and Adriano, 24, has emerged as boss Sir Alex Ferguson's top summer transfer target.
Inter Milan are ready to listen to United's offer for the striker, who fell out with coach Roberto Mancini last season.
And while the San Siro side will want £30m for Adriano, the fact they are ready to do business suggests Fergie may finally be successful in his quest to buy a replacement for the record-breaking Dutchman, who has joined Real Madrid.
The United chief was rebuffed in his attempt to lure Spanish starlet Fernando Torres away from Atletico Madrid but knows he needs to sign a big-name strike leader to appease the Old Trafford faithful after the loss of van Nistelrooy.
