Report: Real Madrid's Sergio Ramos wants Manchester United move

Sergio Ramos has reportedly informed Real Madrid of his desire to join Manchester United this summer.

Recent speculation claimed that the Red Devils had lodged a £28.6m bid for the centre-back, which was subsequently rejected by their Spanish counterparts.

However, having learned of United's offer, Ramos told Los Blancos that he wanted to move to Old Trafford, rather than negotiate a new deal with them, according to numerous reports.

Meanwhile, The Sun has reported that United are now prepared to let goalkeeper David de Gea join Madrid in a straight swap deal for the 29-year-old.

It has been suggested that Madrid value Ramos at around £50m, despite the fact that he has just two years left to run on his contract at the Bernabeu.
