Atletico Madrid striker Sergio Aguero is being linked with a £50 million move to Manchester United.

The Mirror says the Argentinean played in last nights 2-0 defeat against Sevilla in the Copa del Rey, and now Spanish reports are claiming that Sir Alex Ferguson is ready to pay the release fee in the forwards contract.

Chelsea have also been linked with Aguero, while Real Madrid maintain an interest and seem the most likely destination for the playmaker.

The 21-year-old has previously mentioned the fact that he would not have a problem moving to Atletico's city rivals if the club needed to sell, however it's unlikely that they'll be getting the £51million quoted from anyone.
