  Manchester United are confident seeing off late interest from Liverpool to land Wigan Athletic winger Luis Antonio Valencia.

  The Sun says United are favourites to beat Liverpool in the £20million race for Valencia.

  Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are also chasing the Ecuadorian, who seems certain to be the latest player to quit the JJB Stadium for a bigger club this summer.

  Sources close to United insist the player wants to move to Old Trafford and Latics boss Steve Bruce said: “It’s inevitable Antonio will leave — but where he goes I’m not quite sure.

  “There have been no deals done at all.

  “I keep reading that story — but nothing’s been done.”

  Real Madrid threaten to outbid Man Utd for Wigan winger Valencia

  Real Madrid have held a round of talks with Wigan Athletic over winger Luis Antonio Valencia.

  The Mirror says Real Madrid had a top-secret meeting with Wigan yesterday in a bid to seal a £16 million deal for star winger Valencia.

  Top Real official Miguel Portugal watched Valencia in action against Manchester United and stayed on to talk terms with chief executive Brenda Spencer.

  Latics negotiator Spencer is in charge of the Valencia sale and is looking for a stunning £20 million for the Ecuadorian, who is also wanted by Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson.

  United thought they had a move for Valencia wrapped up for later this month, but Real - even with an election due to start - demanded the summit to let Wigan know they still want the player.
