Graham Hunter expects Manchester United to move for Nicolas Otamendi

Manchester United will try to buy Valencia centre-back Nicolas Otamendi this summer, according to Graham Hunter.

Spanish football expert Graham Hunter believes that Manchester United will try to sign Valencia defender Nicolas Otamendi this summer.

United reportedly bid to sign the centre-back in January, and Hunter doesn't think they will be put off from trying again at the end of the season.

He told Sky Sports News: "Manchester United's interest in acquiring Otamendi is well established. Therefore, I would expect them to try to buy him in the summer. If they come in with £50m then Valencia have a decision to make.

"It is better football sense for Valencia's level to use the good players they have got to earn Champions League revenue. Of course if they don't get to the Champions League, then you could say everybody is for sale. If Valencia finish fifth, then their financial situation is such that big clubs will be able to pick off their best players."

Otamendi has made 30 appearances this season.
