Spanish star puts United on red alert

Valencia's David Villa has put Manchester United and Liverpool on red alert as he fired his agent, Jose Luis Tamargo. Tamargo has reportedly been sacked for his inability to secure a summer transfer away from Valencia, and Villa has a long list of suitors, including England's giants.

Real Madrid and Barcelona were strongly linked for a move for the 27 year old over the summer following his sensational form for Spain, but with the two Spanish clubs since wrapping up deals for other star strikers (Benzema for Real and Ibrahimovic for Barca), a move to England is on the cards for Villa.
