Sir Alex Ferguson has claimed he wanted to bring in at least three new faces in an effort to ensure the Premiership title remains at Old Trafford next season.

A £17million deal for England midfielder Owen Hargreaves is believed to require the finishing touches only before going through and, although United did miss out on Southampton starlet Gareth Bale, it appears the Red Devils are eager to ensure Nani does not slip through the net.

The 20-year-old has refused to sign an extension to his present contract, which expires in the summer.

United chief executive David Gill and assistant manager Carlos Queiroz flew to Lisbon for talks over a possible move.

The pair were pictured leaving a Lisbon hotel after a meeting with senior Sporting officials and it seems a fee of around £14million would be enough to secure the highly-rated youngster.

There have been reports in the Portuguese press suggesting the deal could even involve Nani spending next season on loan with his current club.
