Daily Mail claims Real Madrid were preparing to offer £49m. United want to hijack Real Madrid's transfer swoop for the 23-year-old, however, they will offer Ajax £13million less than Los Blancos. Van der Sar has admitted, they will not lower their asking prices for the players.  “Changing the price-tag of our players? I don’t see this changing. It’s not like we are putting everyone up for sale now. We know that our players are ambitious and they want to take the next step to a greater league, but only to the conditions Ajax ask for," the goalkeeper said. (via @TheEuropeanLad)
