Napoli kick Man Utd into action over Garay battle

Manchester United are ready to compete for Benfica defender Ezequiel Garay in January. The Daily Star says manager David Moyes faces stiff competition from Serie A side Napoli, with their coach Rafa Benitez understood to be a big admirer of the Argentina international.

Garay has a £17m release clause written into his contract, but neither Moyes nor Benitez are put off by the cost of the 27-year-old.

Moyes was thought to be willing to wait until the summer before reigniting a move, but the reports of Napoli's interest have seen the Scot prioritise a deal for the upcoming window.
