Manchester United, Chelsea battle for Miranda

A report claims that Manchester United and Chelsea will battle for Atletico Madrid defender Miranda this summer.

Manchester United and Chelsea will reportedly go head-to-head for the signature of Atletico Madrid defender Miranda this summer.

The 30-year-old had a strong 2013-14 season with Atletico, where his form at the back was a key part of his side's La Liga title success.

Injuries have harmed the defender this season, however, while the emergence of Jose Gimenez has also made Miranda's long-term future uncertain.

According to The Telegraph, Atletico would rather sell Miranda this summer than risk losing the Brazilian on a free transfer next June, when his current deal expires.

Man United and Chelsea are both in the market for new defenders this summer.
