Manchester United have been linked with a surprising move for Real Madrid’s Xabi Alonso. The former Liverpool maestro has been identified as a possible candidate to replace the recently retired Paul Scholes.
The 29-year was a £30million acquisition back in 2009 after he was reportedly forced out of Anfield. Radio Cadena Ser suggests Sir Alex Ferguson is preparing talks with the Xabi camp and is willing to trump his current wages in order to persuade the Spaniard to return to England.
The Spanish international is likely to reject any approach from the Red Devils, with just last month pledging his loyalty to Liverpool in an interview with the official club website.
