Man Utd agreement for Gaitan still watertight with Benfica
Manchester United have the edge on rivals for the signature of Benfica star Nicolas Gaitan.
Manchester City are also interested in the Argentine and both Premier League giants had scouts in the stands to see Gaitan in action against Gil Vicente last week.
However, Record says United have the inside running as they secured a 'gentlemen's agreement' with Benfica in January that Gaitan will move to Old Trafford for season 2012/13.
The two clubs need to settle on a fee for Gaitan, but United do boast first option on the midfielder.
