Manchester United Football Club are eager to land Angel Di Maria.

The Argentine international has emerged as one of the most sought after players in European football this season, due to some outstanding performances for Benfica.

The Portuguese giants accept that they face a fight on their hands in the summer to keep the 21-year-old, who they rate in the region of £20million.

Chelsea have been heavily linked with his signature of late, with reports suggesting their former chief executive Peter Kenyon has been in Lisbon trying to broker a deal.

However, the Daily Mail claim United, who tried to sign Di Maria in the winter, are again considering a bid for the forward, as Sir Alex Ferguson looks to freshen up his options.
