Man Utd set to TRUMP Barcelona for Juan Cuadrado with enormous wage offer
MANCHESTER UNITED are looking to trump Barcelona in the race for Juan Cuadrado by offering better personal terms.
Cuadrado has been heavily linked with a move away from Fiorentina this summer after an impressive World Cup.
United, Barcelona and Bayern Munich are all thought to be interested in the winger, who is valued at around £30m.
All three clubs are believed to be willing to meet that price, but the player's final destination is likely to be decided by personal terms.
Reports in Spain suggest that Cuadrado prefers a move to Spain and has doubts about how his style will translate to the Premier League.
International teammate James Rodriguez - who joined Real Madrid from Monaco earlier this summer - has urged Cuadrado to follow him to La Liga this summer.

Manchester United are offering Juan Cuadrado better personal terms than Barcelona
However, it is thought that Barcelona are not able to match the personal terms on offer from United.
Indeed, it has even be suggested that Cuadrado may be asked to take a pay cut to make the move to the Camp Nou.
And that would see United in the driving seat to land the exciting 26-year-old.
It now remains to be seen whether Barcelona up their offer in light of news that Cuadrado could choose United instead, or whether the Red Devils will ultimately win the race for the player.
