Man Utd preparing bid for Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke

Manchester United are chasing Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke. Koke has been likened to Barcelona star Xavi.

The Daily Mail says the 21-year old was on former United manager Sir Alex Ferguson's radar last season after establishing himself at the heart of Atletico's midfield with a string of assured performances.

Koke has an escape clause of just over £16 million and is attracting strong interest from United and Barcelona after maintaining a level of form that has led many to compare him with Nou Camp maestro Xavi.
