Gossip: United linked with Valencia duo

MANCHESTER United have been linked with a £50million swoop for Valencia's star duo David Villa and David Silva. The Reds were linked with the pair in the summer, and would have the funds to make a big money bid thanks to their sale of Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid for £80m. Cash strapped Valencia's director Fernando Gomez told Spanish TV: "The club made a great effort to keep our players this summer but our economic situation remains very serious. "It was a success to keep them, but there comes a point when you can't stand it anymore. We may have to sell Villa." The Daily Mirror reports that United are in a better position now than they were in the summer to land the pair. Would you like to see Villa and Silva at United? Have your say.
