United target £25m raid

Celtic standout could make a big money move

"That display has put him right in the shop window and Celtic will do very well to hold on to him."

According to the Daily Mail, Premier League giants Manchester United are set to make a £25 million swoop for Celtic’s Vincent Wanyama. The Kenyan midfielder stole all the headlines this week with a scintillating performance against Barcelona as the Bhoys ran out winners at Celtic Park.

United’s chief scout Martin Ferguson was in attendance for the match, and will surely be impressed with a player that has been tracked by Manchester City and Queens Park Rangers for quite some time. The Kenyan is 21 years old, and is highly coveted around Europe after making a £900,000 bargain move to Celtic a year ago.

In fact, the Scottish Premier League giants have already rejected a £10 million bid for the midfielder from QPR, prompting Neil Lennon to comment that he could be worth in excess of £20 million.

Manchester United legend Gary Neville also commented on Wanyama following the match.

“That display has put him right in the shop window and Celtic will do very well to hold on to him,” said the former Manchester United right-back.
