Manchester United 'lead the chase for Daniel Alves'

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal is said to be "confident" of signing Barcelona's Daniel Alves this summer.

Manchester United are said to be the frontrunners to sign Barcelona right-back Daniel Alves.

Red Devils goalkeeper Victor Valdes will help convince his former teammate to snub other offers in favour of a move to Old Trafford, according to The Express.

Alves has been linked with Chelsea and Arsenal and could leave Barca on a free transfer in the summer when his contract expires.

Barca manager Luis Enrique is believed to have told the club not to offer Alves a new contract after his existing deal expires.

Meanwhile, United boss Louis van Gaal is "confident" that the 31-year-old will choose Old Trafford come the end of the season.
