Sensational news are out and it has been reported that Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is weighing up a move for Porto midfielder Raul Meireles.
It has been reported that Ferguson has been impressed by Meireles’ form at the World Cup and will seek out Portugal coach Carlos Queiroz, a former United No2, for more information on the midfielder.
Meireles can play in a holding role and is also capable of pushing forward and getting himself on the scoresheet.
Ferguson would be willing to pay £12 million for Meireles with Paul Scholes entering the final year of his career and doubts persisting over the long-term fitness of Owen Hargreaves.
