“Man United have signed Atletico Madrid defender Miranda for €30m” [AS]

AS report earlier today that Manchester United have signed Atletico Madrid central defender Miranda.

Miranda was a key figure in Diego Simeone's defence last season, and he was very impressive.

New Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal sees Miranda as a key component of his defence next season and Atletico can do nothing since the Premier League giants are matching his release clause of €30m.

According to AS, Miranda has been to Manchester in recent weeks and has even searched for schools for his children to join in the city.

But one can never be sure of this report by AS as Miranda is heavily linked to Barcelona in the Catalan press today also.
