This guy plays defensive midfield for Celtic and has been looking pretty good.

MANCHESTER UNITED TRANSFER NEWS Kenya feel the force? United eye up Celtic midfield hardman Wanyama

Manchester are weighing up a January move for Celtic midfielder Victor Wanyama.

Sir Alex Ferguson's brother Martin - who works as one of United's team of scouts - has watched Wanyama several times this season.

United are in the market for a defensive midfielder and Kenya international Wanyama is one of the names on their radar following his impressive form north of the border.

The 21-year-old joined Celtic for £900,000 from Belgian side Beerscho AC in July 2011 and has emerged as a key member of Neil Lennon's side.

Martin Ferguson has watched him in Celtic's Champions League games this season, to assess his merits against stronger opposition than he meets in the Scottish Premier League.

Celtic would want around £10million for their midfield enforcer, who can also play in defence, but United feel they could land him for around £7m.

Wanyama is a robust, tough-tackling midfielder in the style of Newcastle's Cheick Tiote, who United have also been monitoring.

Not sold on Wanyama yet. We should have made a move for Kwadwo Asamoah before Juventus snagged him.

EDIT : Although I would much rather play Tunnicliffe. I've had enough of this transfer bullshit tbh. I really want to see our Academy performers promoted into starting or at least bench roles.

He wouldn't allow the likes of Dembele and Yaya to just run past him.

was dismissed immediately when i told about him last season since he plays in SPL and laughed at for suggesting SPL players.

"I feel close to the rebelliousness and vigour of the youth here. Perhaps time will separate us, but nobody can deny that here, behind the windows of Manchester, there is an insane love of football, of celebration and of music."
