It’s been well documented that Fergie has placed a goalkeeper at the top of his wish list this summer.
United have been linked with goalkeepers from around the world, but nothing has materialised and now United turn their attention to local rivals City.
Moves for Liverpool’s Pepe Reina failed when the Spaniard refused to move to a rival, Athletico Madrid’s starlet David de Gea has fallen flat with the goalie not willing to leave Spain and German maestro Manuel Neur is set for a move to Bayern Munich.
City are unlikely to sell Given to a rival reports Caught Offside but the Irishman is unwilling to warm the bench for another season and will be desperate to get his career back on track as a regular No1.
