Fergie eyes Vieira in shock swoop
Manchester United are lining up a sensational swoop for Juventus' former Arsenal hardman Patrick Vieira, according to reports.The Juve midfielder is concerned with the current match-fixing investigation which could result in the Italian champions being relegated to Seria B.
Vieira is not comfortable with the current situation and has also recently been linked with a return to Arsenal but has refused to comment on his future.
Sir Alex Ferguson has long been a keen admirer of Vieira and desperately wants to add quality to the midfield area.
He has been unable to find a perfect replacement since Roy Keane's departure to Celtic last season, but may well see Vieira as the man to fill the hole.
However, with Arsenal also sniffing, along with several Spanish clubs, United will have to move quickly if they are to pull off the shock move.
But if Juventus are relegated to Seria B then the French international will almost certainly want a move away after just one season in Italy.
