Guimareas has been linked to United earlier this year, but according to Reuters , activity has now stepped up, with talks over a transfer underway. Newcastle have doubts about their Brazilian captain, but Guimaraes has already announced he is done at the club at the end of the season. A price tag of around £70 million has been set, but this has clearly not deterred the United management, who seem to be able to budget for a Champions League ticket next season.
Manchester United will get a fight from Real Madrid, where Carlo Ancelotti once highlighted him as a possible replacement for Luka Modric and Toni Kroos.
