DANIEL ALVES has put Manchester United red alert by saying he wants to leave Seville. The Brazilian ace was on the verge of joining Chelsea last summer before Blues owner Roman Abramovich refused to cough up £25million.
United hope to bring in the right-back as a replacement for Gary Neville but face stiff competition from Barcelona. The Catalan giants' new boss Pep Guardiola has also targetted Alves as well as his Seville team-mates Christian Poulsen and Seydou Keita.
The interest from two of Europe's biggest clubs has unsettled the 25-year-old and he has revealed he is ready to move on. Alves said: "I really want to leave now and I hope that everything will be finalised as soon as possible."
