Arsenal demand Man Utd double their Vermaelen offer

Arsenal are demanding Manchester United double their bid for Thomas Vermaelen. The Daily Mail says United are unlikely to pay the £12million Arsenal are demanding for Vermaelen after their initial bid was rejected.

The Belgium international has just one year to run on his deal at the Emirates and United believe the valuation of the centre-back is too high. Their opening offer was thought to be in the region of £6m.

Napoli also have an interest in Vermaelen but the player himself is keen on a move to Old Trafford.
