Juventus defender Cannavaro now in Man Utd sights


Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is eyeing Juventus defensive pair Lilian Thuram and Fabio Cannavaro.

With Juve facing demotion from Serie A over the Calciopoli scandal, neither player is expected to continue with the Turin giants after the World Cup.
Cannavaro has emerged as a major target for Ferguson, who knows he can land the Italy international for a knockdown fee. A relegated Juventus would be desperate to get his unsustainable high wages off their books.
Thuram is interesting AC Milan, but fresh contact has been made by United and Arsenal for the 34 year-old veteran in the last 24 hours.
