Manchester United could be set to miss out on top target Arturo Vidal after a rumoured rival bid from German giants Bayern Munich.
Javi Martinez picked up a season ending injury in the German Super Cup loss to Dortmund which has prompted Bayern to make huge bid for the Juventus player to fill the hole left by the Spanish International.
Manchester United were thought to have no contest for the Chilean and talks between the two were going well but this latest move could mean the player is heading for Germany and not England.
Vidal is an admirer of Bayern Munich’s play and the Chilean is thought to prefer a move to the German Giants who can offer him European football whereas United cannot curtesy of finishing 7th last season.
United still have a say in the transfer and can play their joker card by offering Juventus Javier Hernandez and Nani, two players that interest Juventus and also they are both surplus to requirements at Old Trafford, this transfer story is moving fast.
