Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is weighing up a move for Villarreal's Spanish World Cup star Marcos Senna.
The Times says Ferguson has already lined up Michael Carrick for a transfer to Old Trafford and sees Senna as a dynamic accomplice.
The Brazilian-born player has spent the past four years playing for Villarreal and has impressed so much in recent months that he has forced his way into the Spanish national team at the age of 29.
After looking at a number of players, Senna, who has two years left on his contract, is now being given the most serious consideration.
The midfielder has declared he won't consider new contract talks until after the World Cup and United are unwilling to go higher than £4 million for his transfer.
