Manchester United in for Khedira

Manchester United have joined the race to sign out-of-favour Real Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira, according to the Express.

The World Cup winner has made just two substitute appearances for the European Champions so far this season, with Luka Modric, Toni Kroos, Isco, Gareth Bale and James Rodriguez all above him in the pecking order.

Arsenal and Chelsea have both been strongly linked with a move for the twenty-seven year old, though Louis van Gaal is keen to steal a march on his rivals, following news that Roma’s Kevin Strootman will not be sold in January.

Khedira, who moved to the La Liga giants from Stuttgart in 2010, has been told by Real officials to either put pen to paper on a new deal at the Bernabeu or find a new club with the latter more likely due to the limited opportunities he has endured over the past two seasons.
