Manchester United to miss out on Antonio Candreva

Man Utd's efforts to sign Italian winger Antonio Candreva appear to have failed as the player's club Lazio have announced that the 26-year-old is not for sale. The Italy international is staying put as he is not for sale at any price.

Candreva helped Lazio to the Coppa Italia last year as his team beat Roma 1-0 and is regarded as one of the club's best players.


David Moyes has recently admitted that he might sell Nani to finance a move for new players, and Candreva is one that could be brought in as a replacement for the Portuguese international.


Candreva, who has spent time with Udinese, Livorno, Juventus, Parma and Cesena prior to Lazio, will stay with the club after chairman Claudio Lotito confirmed a deal would not be agreed:  "He's not for sale. Nobody has ever called me."
