Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is lining up a shock move for Sunderland star Asamoah Gyan in a deal which would see Danny Welbeck make a permanent switch to the Stadium of Light.

The Ghana striker has produced a string of impressive performances since joining the Black Cats for a record ã13million last summer, scoring nine goals in 27 appearances, and it now seems as if United are planning an audacious swoop for his services which would subsequently send Welbeck in the opposite direction.
Sunderland boss Steve Bruce was furious when striker Darren Bent left for Sunderland in January for ã24million and the last thing he wants is for his other star striker to orchestrate a move away - but the permanent signing of Danny Welbeck and an additional ã10million fee would soften the blow of losing Gyan.
The on-loan United striker has enjoyed a successful loan spell on Wearside, scoring six goals in 22 appearances, and a deal involving the promising youngster could provide the incentive.
The United boss enjoys a good relationship with his former player Bruce and will be hoping this helps in negotiating a deal for Gyan.
The Ghanaian’s stock has risen since last summer’s World Cup when his three goals helped his country through to their first ever quarter-final.
He netted the extra-time winner against the United States to set up a clash with Uruguay but then missed a penalty that would have made them the first ever African nation to reach the semi-finals.
Gyan, who supported the Red Devils as a boy, revealed earlier in the season that he would consider leaving the Stadium of Light for Old Trafford if United came calling.
