Man Utd hunt Yaya Toure

Manchester United will offer a 15 million GBP deal to Barcelona to persuade the Spanish Champions to sell their defensive midfield dynamo Yaya Toure this summer.

Arsenal are also following the speculation closely as they face up to the fact that Cesc Fabregas will probably head to Barcelona this summer.

Man Utd boss Sir Alex Ferguson has long been an admirer of the Ivory Coast international, brother of former Arsenal defender Kolo Toure.

Yaya Toure is valued in the region of 20 million GBP by his club who will let him leave if they complete a move for Fabregas.
