Manchester United linked with moves for David Silva & Sergio Aguero



According to the News of the World today, "Manchester United will tell Valencia to name their price for David Silva this week. Although boss Sir Alex Ferguson claims United are not in the market for further signings, they are prepared to deal at the right price." Valencia would be more willing to allow Silva to leave than David Villa and could be forced to let their left winger depart if he makes public his desire to join Manchester United. Silva, 23, came through the ranks at Valencia and has played 26 times for Spain, scoring three goals and he was part of the successful Euro 2008 team. Last season he missed two months with an ankle injury and in total played 22 games, scoring five goals and providing seven assists. Silva is contracted to Valencia until the end of the 2012/2013 season and although he is predominantly a left winger he can also play on the right or through the middle. Over in the Daily Star Sunday, John Richardson claims "Man United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has targeted Atletico Madrid’s Sergio Aguero as the man to score the missing Old Trafford goals." Sergio Aguero, 21, came through the ranks at Independiente and joined Atletico Madrid during the 2006/2007 season. In 2007/2008 he scored 23 goals in 43 appearances and during 2008/2009 he claimed 21 goals in 45 games and also provided eight assists. Nicknamed "Kun," after a Japanese cartoon character, Aguero was voted FIFA Young Player of the Year in 2007 and is developing into one of the most prolific strikers in world football. Despite his young age he has played 15 times for the Argentinean national team and scored six goals.
