The agent of Velez Sarsfield star Ricky Alvarez has confirmed the interest of Arsenal and Manchester United.
Arsenal have been in talks with Velez for the attacking midfielder since the end of last season - and United made contact just last week.
Marcelo Simonian told Calciomercatoweb.it: "The boy is liked by Arsenal and Manchester United, but Italy appears to be in a position of advantage.
"Ricky would certainly be happy there."
