Man Utd make improved bid for Sergio Ramos

Manchester United are reported to have made a fresh offer for Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos.

The Red Devils have had two bids rejected for the Spain international by Los Blancos.

According to El Pais, United have made a new offer of £42.1m for the talented defender, who was recently handed the captain's armband.

It is added that United will be open to David de Gea's sale to Los Blancos, provided they get a deal done for Ramos.

Ramos joined Real Madrid from Sevilla in 2005.
