United Transfer News: 25/01/2011
Alex Ferguson has made a late bid to hijack Alex Chamberlain's £10million move to Arsenal.
A United insider said: "The boss has made his move and now it's down to the lad and his family to decide - but United are a massive club to turn down."
The Southampton midfielder, 17, is currently the hottest property in English football.He looked set to sign for the Gunners this week and follow in the footsteps of Theo Walcott.
Chamberlain's dad, Mark, who won eight England caps in the 1980s, said: "Alex is technically better than Walcott and can play in a more central role.
"He is not the most robust but he has been working on strengthening since he was 10."
