David Gill is supposed to have been out to the Serie A club and held talks with regard to bringing the player back to Old Trafford for next season, even though the other day our friends from Eastlands were supposed to be the favourites to sign him.
Just how much it would cost to secure his services, figures being banded about at the moment are between £35 million and £44 million in the press. Even the divs are only prepared to pay £27million, but we know what they are like, 44 million would be cheap to them if it paid for another Carling Cup.
For United to be interested still, it would very likely mean that Villa are off the hook concerning a move for Ashley Cole. Nani’s place may also be in danger of going to help fund the move.
