United chasing Villa signatureAccording to the player's agent, Manchester United have made a move to sign Real Zaragoza striker David Villa.
United are believed to have made their interest known to Zaragoza and are ready to rival Valencia for his signature.
News of United's interest in Villa comes as something of a surprise as they have an abundance of attacking talent already at Old Trafford with the likes of Wayne Rooney, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Alan Smith and Louis Saha all battling it out for places in the side.
However, it appears that Valencia are firm favorites to clinch Villa's signature with the player thought to be keen on staying in Spain at this stage of his career.
Villa's agent Jose Luis Tamargo has confirmed United's interest and admitted Villa is ready to snub a lucrative contract on offer from United to stay in Spain.
Tamargo said: "The player is ready to accept less money to stay in La Liga.”
