Manchester United midfielder Nani has urged Alex Ferguson to press ahead with his bid for Sporting Lisbon star Miguel Veloso. Midfielder Veloso has been one of the most sought-after players in Europe since last summer, with Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal all interested in him. Nani said: “I know there are many rumours regarding Manchester United’s interest in Veloso but I can’t decide whether he comes. “I know him well because he was a team-mate of mine and I know he has the quality to play for a club like United. “The football here is hard but he is someone who can do well at a big club. And I know he already has the opportunities to leave Sporting.”

Arsène Wenger has revealed that he retains an interest in Felipe Melo, the Brazil and Juventus defensive midfielder, as he plans for the longer term without the stricken Aaron Ramsey. The Arsenal manager tried to sign Melo from Fiorentina last summer only to be priced out of the market by Juventus but, with the 26-year-old having struggled this season, there has been the suggestion that he is unsettled. Wenger will again have money to spend in the summer transfer window and he already knows that he will enter next season with his midfield resources depleted. Ramsey is expected to be out for eight months after the double fracture of his right leg that he suffered at Stoke City on Saturday.
