Manchester United are set to go head-to-head with AC Milan in January over the signature of Benfica’s £10 million-rated midfielder Javi Garcia. The 24-year-old has been outstanding since he made the move from Real Madrid in 2009, and is now subject to interest from two of Europe’s biggest clubs.

Despite Sir Alex Ferguson having a variety of central midfielders, there is still a genuine feeling around Old Trafford that the club lack bite in midfield and the United boss could be tempted to make his move for the highly-rated midfielder with Benfica admitting they would not resist a large bid.

AC Milan are also firmly in the picture with the likes of Gennaro Gattuso, Mark Van Bommel and Massimo Ambrosini entering the latter stages of their career whilst they are without Mathieu Flamini for the next five months as he recovers from a knee injury.
