According to reports Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is prepared to offload winger Nani.
The Sun claims a source close to the club has revealed that the Portuguese winger will have to reduce his wage demands if he is to have a future at the club.
The Portuguese was less than impressive in the opening game of the season at Everton on Monday night which United lost 1-0.
The source said: “The club did not think his form at the end of last season put him in a very strong bargaining position over a new deal. Monday was hardly his best either.”
Ashley Young is set to replace Nani for Saturday’s visit of Fulham.
It is understood that the 25-year-old has become frustrated at the collapse of talks over a new four-year deal.
The United source added: “There was an intention to get him on a new four-year contract.
“But initial demands from Nani’s side were way over the top. Right now United are happy to leave it until next summer unless his demands are dramatically dropped. But they won’t sell unless silly money comes in.”
