Manchester United assistant boss Carlos Queiroz has admitted that bringing Sporting Lisbon wonder-kid Miguel Veloso to Old Trafford has become a "priority".

Portuguese midfield starlet Veloso, 21, is on United's wanted list - but Real Madrid, Arsenal and Inter Milan are all monitoring him closely.

Queiroz says Veloso is among the top young players in the world, and United are considering making a move even though Sporting have stuck a £20million price tag on his head.

"It is impossible to ignore good players and we are following the evolution of some top players," said Queiroz.

"One is Veloso. He would be hard to ignore.

"Big clubs such as Manchester United, Barcelona and Arsenal have a scouting system that looks at players throughout the year.

"Players like Miguel Veloso, Joao Moutinho, Ricardo Quaresma, Bosingwa or Bruno Alves are on the list,

"We have good midfield players like Scholes, Carrick, Hargreaves and Anderson.

"But it is true that if someone was to leave the club then Veloso would be a priority.
So does that mean we're interested in Quaresma etc?

FFS, if the club is willing to drop 20m on another midfielder, I'd rather SAF try to unsettle Essien. Perhaps Essien will go on strike at Chelsea until they transfer him to United, and if they refuse, he could take them to court. According to Liverpool fans, a situation like that would be a slam-dunk court win for Essien.

Ronaldo tells Man Utd: Don't forget Moutinho
tribalfooball.com - November 28, 2007

Manchester United ace Cristiano Ronaldo has hinted of their interest in Sporting Lisbon midfielder Joao Moutinho.

Asked about United's interest in Miguel Veloso, Ronaldo replied: "He's a great player. But so is Moutinho and Manchester United are always interested in great players."

On last night's 2-1 win, Ronaldo added: "In the first game, in Alvalade, I scored and now I've scored again. It hurts a little to score against your old team, but I'm a footballer and this is my job.

"Sporting were very good in the first-half, United were a bit too relaxed. But in the second 45 we dominated and were worthy winners.

"I think if it wasn't facing Manchester United, Sporting would have won tonight."

^^^

Sporting United

Personally I thought Veloso was quite invisible last night.

well like i said before, portugal are producing some of the best young talent who will rule world football along with some of the young dutch, argentinian, and spanish kids. so i wouldn't be too disappointed if we had 3 or 4 of these future world class players.

I think everyone is just concerned with being a team like Arsenal or Liverpool... I have no problem with the nationality of a player, if he's right for United then I welcome him with open arms. I however, don't think Veloso is right for us... Not at this moment in time atleast.

The rumours involving Portuguese players like Miguel Veloso, Joao Moutinho, Ricardo Quaresma just don''t seem to go away. A lot of talent but they are all midfielders. Surely we need a striker more than another midfielder or two.

The only way it may make some sense is if Carrick is going back to Spurs for some type of deal involving Berbatov. And I am not sure if that would be good for us or not.

well I was thinking the same...if we are looking at midfielders...and our need for a striker an all...yeah Carrick switch for Berbatov...


also Carrick has looked out of sorts and unhappy...what with Anderson coming along so well..

with Scholes injured Carrick would have expected to be automatic choice...which has not been the case...

Fuck Berbatov. Would have been good if we singed him summer of 06, but now I don't want him. Surely theres another viable target besides Berbatov out there...

Dude stop been a muppet, we have sorted our midfield for the future with Carrick/Anderson/Hargreaves and Fletcher when Scholes leaves

If we are gonna get Berbatov is has nothing to do with Carrick. Apart from Berbatov there are many other options we can take.

Fergie tells Veloso to feck off:

Queiroz had already confirmed United had no interest in signing Veloso, a view backed up by Ferguson.

"We are not interested in him and we never have been," said the Scot.

"But our relationship with Sporting Lisbon has been very good for five years now. We approached them about Cristiano Ronaldo, we sat down and we did a deal. We did the same with Nani.

"Why should we bother about tapping a player we are not interested in?"

It was never on tbh,we bought hargreaves so there was never any chance of us buying another defensive midfielder,but i do think veloso is a better player than hargreaves,not that hargreaves is a bad player its just i think veloso has more quality than hargreaves possesses...

honestly, after paying and odd 50 million quid for Anderson, Carrick and Hargreaves in 2 years, it just doesn't make sense to splash out another 10-15 million in the same area.
