Aston Villa and Manchester United are among Premiership clubs on red alert over the availability of Valencia fullback Miguel.

The Portugal international is demanding a move away from the Mestalla and snapped last night: "The club has not behaved well towards me this year. The directors know what I think. I think that if something appears good for both sides, it would be good to leave the club.

"I've told them that it would be better for all concerned if I left."

Villa and United have been linked with Miguel this year, along with Chelsea before they landed Porto fullback Jose Bosingwa.
