Manchester United is secretly putting up a bid for Swansea City midfielder Andre Ayew who had a blistering first season in England.

Ayew was arguably the best Ghanaian players abroad this season having bagged 12 League goals for his Club Swansea City.

The player has been a target for fellow English outfit Sunderland who are reportedly preparing a £15million deal for the hard working player.

Louis Van Gaal future at United is uncertain but the reports are that if he stays he will look to sign the Ghanaian midfielder who saved Swansea City from going down with his goals.

The 26-year-old was inspiring when he scored to help Swansea City defeat Manchester United 2-1 at the Liberty Stadium in August last year.

The former Olympique Marseille star finished the season as the top scorer at Swansea City going on to win the best Newcomer award at the Club.
