An article from Mirror, earlier this month linked Manchester United with the possibility of signing Celta Vigo's Gabriel Viega. Thefaithfulmufc has alleged that the Red Devils have emerged favourites to sign the young mid fielder from the La Liga outfit.

Man Utd is one of the clubs ready to agree to the £35 million needed to sign the Spaniard, according to the most recent update given by AS.

This season in La Liga, the 20-year-old starlet has been a surprise. The young player has scored nine goals and contributed three assists in his first eighteen league starts. Veiga is a versatile playmaker who can be used in a variety of offensive and midfield roles.
