Rayo Vallecano midfielder Michu has issued a come and get me plea to Premier League giants Manchester United and Liverpool, after admitting he’d be willing to quit the Spanish side.

Michu, 26, was the highest scoring midfielder in La Liga last season with 17 goals in 39 games, and morning reports claimed north-west rivals United and Liverpool were both interested in securing his services.

Now the in-demand Spaniard claims he’d be ready to join one of the Premier League’s leading lights, should they meet his club’s £8million valuation.

'If a good offer arrives for Rayo and me I will study leaving,' Michu told reporters in Oviedo.

Sir Alex Ferguson’s inability to secure a prominent midfielder in his squad is probably the reason why Manchester United lost the 2011-12 season to archrivals Manchester City. The Eastlands not only won their first Premier League title in 44 years but they also established themselves as the latest football powerhouse in Europe.

Now that the season has ended, fans and media have started to question Sir Alex Ferguson’s abilities as the manager of Manchester United. Well, let’s not get too hasty and kick off the legendary Scotsman from the hot seat at Old Trafford. However, one thing is for sure – Sir Alex Ferguson will have to make some serious adjustments to his squad this summer… starting with the midfield.

Manchester United is in dire need of a new centre midfielder. Manchester City’s Yaya Toure had an exceptional season with the Eastlands. It was his impressive form that made the difference for Manchester City last season. Sir Alex Ferguson clearly needs a player in his mould, but that will not be easy to obtain.

Man United could land Rayo Vallecano midfielder Michu for bargain £3m

Michu, the highest-scoring midfielder in Spain last season, could move to the Premier League for as little as £3million this summer.

Rayo Vallecano’s financial problems mean the former Real Oviedo and Celta Vigo player, who hit 17 goals in 39 games, is available at significantly less than the club's original £8m asking price.

Manchester United scouts have been watching Michu, 26, and London-based agents DBW have also spoken with several other English clubs, including Liverpool, about him.
