Even with United’s outstanding run to retain the Premier League title, Sir Alex is still looking to strengthen United’s talented midfield as he turns his attention to Wigan Athletic Honduran midfielder Wilson Palacios.

Despite having Carrick, Anderson, Scholes, Giggs, Fletcher, the injured Hargreaves and recent signing Tosic, Sir Alex is prepared to offer £14 million for the 22-year-old center midfielder.
Wigan turned down Tottenham’s £10 million bid for Palacios on Wednesday and are expected to return with a £14 million bid of their own.

Wigan boss Steve Bruce only had this to say “How do you deny the player a move? It is a life-changing deal. It’s going to be tough to keep him.
“I know we are already talking telephone numbers. When you go for that sort of fee, the contract will be big too.”
