Juventus, Valencia in £14M battle for Man Utd striker Berbatov

Juventus and Valencia are in a £14 million battle to land Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov. The News of the World says the striker's future has hung in the balance since he was dropped from the Champions League Final squad.

Spaniards Valencia are struggling financially and need to sell a player - probably midfielder Juan Mata - to raise funds for a straight cash offer.

Italian giants Juve are back in the hunt for marquee signings after years in the wilderness following the 2006 Serie A match- fixing scandal.

United would rather recoup half the £30.5m they paid Spurs three years ago than see him walk away for nothing next summer. But first they must find a striker to replace him.
