ManUnited set to battle ManCity by making first move for £20m Arsenal star Samir Nasri

Manchester United will make the first move for Arsenal star Samir Nasri with a £20 (€22) million bid as rivals Manchester City also prepare a swoop for the midfielder.

City manager Roberto Mancini is on the verge of sealing a £7m (€7.7m) deal for Gunners defender Gael Clichy and is ready to move for his team-mate Nasri if he misses out on Udinese winger Alexis Sanchez, who has recently reiterated his desire to sign for Barcelona.

United, however, are confident of landing the 24-year-old Frenchman, who has just one year left on his contract, despite Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger's insistence last month that Nasri would not be sold to the Old Trafford club.
