Man Utd boss Ferguson ready to pounce for Juventus contract rebel Marchisio
Manchester United are stepping up their interest in Juventus midfielder Claudio Marchisio.
United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has been a long-term admirer of Marchisio and is aware the midfielder has put off new contract talks at Juve.
With Owen Hargreaves finding it increasingly difficult to regain his fitness from an on-going knee problem and Darron Gibson, 23, failing to come to the fore United could be looking to add steel to their engine room.
Known as 'little prince' to Juve fans, Marchisio is contracted to the Serie A club until 2014 and is valued at around £15m.

i totally agree with you,if we get good money then sell him and use it elsewhere.....we are going thru a very bad season and all he think about is money.
As fellow Juventini i disagree. He can be sold, but only at a good price. If they offer 20-30mil, TAKE IT. Hes good, but not THAT good. Hes not a champion. Hes normally not even seen in matches. I question if hes even playing sometimes. There are better players in the world than him.
I would absolutely breakdown in tears if Claudio left us for any team. I highly doubt he will considering he was with us since he was 8 years-old, but when Sir Alex comes calling any1 would listen. Forza Juve
