Man Utd seek to lock in early deal for Palermo defender Kjaer
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson sees Palermo defender Simon Kjaer as an ideal replacement for Nemanja Vidic.
The Daily Mail says Kjaer has come to United’s attention after a series of inspirational performances for Palermo.
The 20-year-old has an £11million buy-out clause in his contract with the Italian club.
The Premier League champions know his value could soar if he plays well in next summer’s World Cup and want a deal before then.
Kjaer is also a target for Liverpool after a recommendation from his compatriot, Daniel Agger, and Juventus are believed to be weighing up a bid.

people tend to forget that kjaer himself has stated that his first option if he does go to a premier league club would b liverpool..as he himself said that he and his family are liverpool crazy...so if man utd and liverpool bid for kjaer it would b a no brainer who he would pick...everyone can make all the biased and dumb statements on this website bcoz thats what ive seen so far...the people of this web should make moderators to scan all the comments made so that we wont have to read dumb comments from dumb fans...as a liverpool fan i dont like people dissing liverpool same goes to everyone but as a football fanatic im more disgusted with comments that are child like and have no logic...
good sigining... for utd........
ready to forget vidicaaaa :D
It would be a great shame to see the back of Vidic.
It seems that his ugly wife cannot stand the competition from all the Manchester totty.
