Sergio Ramos and Phil Jones together at last.
Louis van Gaal looks to be closing in on Real Madrid's legendary defender with news that Ramos is looking out of the Bernabeu this summer. Manchester United have been on the hunt for a centre half and reports linking the club with the 128-cap Spanish international has reached new heights this morning with Spanish outlet AS reporting Ramos' unrest in Madrid. Today's front cover in Spain leads with a headline, 'Sergio Ramos wants to leave Real Madrid now'. https://twitter.com/English_AS/status/612858121808121856 And it looks like United have put themselves in a position of strength regarding the bid. Knowing that Real Madrid are mad keen on David De Gea, Old Trafford chiefs are ready to use their Spanish goalkeeper as bait to prize the 29-year-old Ramos in the other direction. The Guardian are reporting that United have turned down an initial bid believed to be in the region of 18 million euros for De Gea and that they are ready to hold their number one until they can agree a counter bid with Los Blancos. If you want De Gea, we want Ramos.Explore more on these topics:
