Tough tackler: Benfica ace Javi Garcia
The 24-year-old enforcer has impressed in Portugal since arriving from Real Madrid for £6million in 2009, and now two of Europe’s biggest clubs have reportedly made him a prime January target.
United are well stocked on centre midfielders, with Anderson, Michael Carrick, Tom Cleverley and Darren Fletcher all competing for two spots on Sir Alex Ferguson’s team sheet.
However, the reigning champions have been accused of lacking a bit of bite in recent times, and Fergie could well be tempted to make his move for the highly-rated midfielder when the transfer window reopens.
Milan are not short of cover in the centre of the park either, but with Gennaro Gattuso, Mark Van Bommel and Massimo Ambrosini all in their twilight years, a bid for Garcia is on the cards.
The Italian champions will be without ex-Arsenal man Mathieu Flamini for around another five months, as the midfielder continues his recovery from a ruptured knee ligament.
