Manchester United enter chase for £7m Sissoko

Manchester United have entered the race to sign Toulouse ace Moussa Sissoko, according to sources in France.

The Premier League champions have joined Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City in a four-way Premier League chase for the French international, who has played three times for his country since making his debut two years ago.

The 21-year-old midfielder wants to test himself at the highest level and is being lined up to a move to the Premier League after eight years at Toulouse.

Sir Alex Ferguson is on the lookout for midfield firepower, with the loss of Paul Scholes [retired], Owen Hargreaves [released] and Darron Gibson, who could be joining Sunderland.

Sissoko nearly joined Spurs two years ago, but the move broke down as both sides failed to agree a fee. Reports suggest that around £7million will be enough to seal a move to Old Trafford.
