Reports suggesting RvP is on his way to Old Trafford have been picking up pace over the last couple of days, with The Mirror claiming that Sir Alex has been telling his pals he’s confident we will tie up a deal for the 28-year old.

Schalke have today confirmed that Spanish legend Raul will be leaving the club after a two year stay in Germany. There was an offer on the table but Raul has decided it was time to move on. Raul spent 15 seasons with Real Madrid, netting 323 times for the Spanish Giants, his record for Schalke has been equally impressive, netting 19 goals last season and 20 so far this term.
Last month the word was that both Manchester clubs were interested in Argentine international Nico Gaitan. However his buyout clause was rumoured to be around the €45m and it is highly unlikely any club would be part with that kind of money.
