Manchester United plot Saul Niguez bid?

Manchester United will reportedly make a big for Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez when the transfer window reopens in the summer.

The 20-year-old has made 21 appearances for the Spanish champions so far this season and was on the scoresheet during yesterday's emphatic 4-0 win over Real Madrid.

According to The Sun, Niguez is valued at £9m, but Louis van Gaal's side would be willing to pay more to make sure they get the player.

Niguez has been touted as Xabi Alonso's successor for the Spanish national side.
