The race to sign Sami Khedira has taken another twist with the news that Manchester United have now signalled their interest in the 27-year-old Real Madrid midfielder.

Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool have been setting the pace to date in the transfer stakes but according to the Daily Star United "have become the latest team" to throw their hat into the ring. The paper describes the German World Cup winner as "unsettled" in the Spanish capital, and the news that a club not good enough to qualify for the Champions League is on his tail will surely only further destablise Khedira.
