Valencia"s 45million sharpshooter David Villa is back at the top of Manchester United"s shopping list.
Sir Alex Ferguson sent United"s chief European scout - his brother, Martin - to see Villa impress against Getafe last weekend. The Spain striker netted twice in a Valencia win.
And Ferguson is now ready to make a summer move for the hotshot after balking at the player"s price tag at the end of last season, according to The Mirror.
On the radar: Sir Alex Ferguson is ready to bid for Valencia striker David Villa
The decision to hold fire on Villa has worked out well for United with Wayne Rooney in irrepressible form in front of goal, but with concerns lingering over Bulgarian record-signing Dimitar Berbatov, there is room for another proven goal-scorer at Old Trafford.
The Spanish club may not be able to resist any move should they fail to qualify for the Champions League next season.
Villa himself has admitted that he would be keen on a move to the Premier League in future after previously holding out for a switch to either Real Madrid or Barcelona.
