Benfica wing wizard on Manchester United's radar
Posted Thursday, October 06, 2011 by Talksport.co.uk
Manchester United are set to raid Portugal for another wing wizard - Benfica's Nico Gaitan.
United signed talented widemen Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani from Sporting Lisbon and the Premier League champions are now keeping tabs on the star turn from Sporting's cross-city rivals Benfica.
Argentine winger Gaitan has been in exceptional form so far this season in his side's unbeaten start to the campaign - and caught the eye in Benfica's 1-1 Champions League draw with United in September.
And now, according to reports in Portugal, Sir Alex Ferguson is considering a move for the 23-year-old but he will face competition from a number of top clubs across Europe.
But Jose Iribarren, who is Gaitan's agent, insists his client is happy at Benfica.
"Gaitan still has much more to give at Benfica," he told O Jogo. "He is doing a great job and it is normal that foreign clubs are following him but he is currently happy where he is."
