English bookies cut odds on Man United signing

It is clear that United are in need of a new striker, as Hernandez has moved to German club Bayer Leverkusen for £12million and van Persie to Turkish side Fenerbahce for £3.8million respectively. 

Charlie Austin has become the favorite to sign a contract by the end of the day. Cut down from 25/1 to 1/2 in the space of a day, it looks like this £15million bid is becoming more and more likely
