Manchester United plans to buy Arjen Robben

Manchester United will launch a deadline bid to sign Arjen Robben from Real Madrid.

United have been quoted £26 million but The Red Devils plan to force the price down this weekend. Old Trafford chiefs says that an offer of £15 million will be enough to attract Robben.

Arjen Robben, 26, is seen as the creative spark, which can help fill the void left by £80 million Cristiano Ronaldo. The Dutchman has been in sparkling form for Real in pre-season. But he is unlikely to get a look-in at the Bernabeu.

Robben came close to signing for Alex Ferguson's men in 2004, when he was visiting United training ground with his team PSV. But he opted for a £12 million move to Chelsea. The Blues doubled their money by flogging him to Madrid in 2007.

Much better. The post even looks better. Although, The Sun newspaper is not reliable, its posts crap at times. This site has some good stories:
