Louis van Gaal handed huge boost in Man Utd's midfielder pursuit

MANCHESTER UNITED have received a welcome boost in their pursuit of Sevilla midfielder Ever Banega.

 

Ever Banega has not signed a deal with Inter Milan

 

United declined to make a move for the Argentine in January as they're reportedly prepared to wait until the summer, when his contract expires.

Reports in Italy have surfaced this week that the 27-year-old has already signed a deal with Serie A giants Inter Milan.

 

But according to his agent, Banega is yet to sign anything with the San Siro club, which is likely to come as a boost to Red Devils manager Louis van Gaal.

“The first thing I want to say is that [Banega] hasn’t signed anything with anyone,” representative Marcelo Simonian told ABC Deportes.

 

Ever Banega has impressed with six goals this season

 

“There are many, many teams interested. But we haven’t signed with Inter or anyone else. I’d be lying if I said there were a lot of teams to have called, but to have signed something is very different."

Banega has been in fine form this season in Sevilla, scoring six goals and assisting another two as his side sit fifth in the standings.
