Man Utd in shock link with unhappy Vieira


Manchester United are being linked with a shock move for Juventus midfielder Patrick Vieira.

Vieira is concerned with the current match-fixing investigation which could result in the Italian champions being relegated to Serie B.
Vieira is not comfortable with the current situation and has also recently been linked with a return to Arsenal but has refused to comment on his future.
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is a keen admirer of Vieira and desperately wants to add quality to the midfield area. Ferguson has been unable to find a perfect replacement since Roy Keane's departure to Celtic last season, but may well see Vieira as the man to fill the hole.
However, with Arsenal also sniffing, along with several Spanish clubs, Manchester United will have to move quickly if they are to pull off a sensational swoop.
If Juventus are relegated to Serie B then the French international will almost certainly want a move away after just one season in Italy.
