Unless United walk away and Barca are forced to accept the 50 million that Chelsea want to pay, i don't see them entering the race at all.
It would be a whole lot of cash for them to blow on a player they don't need. Plus he's a great player, yes, but he's not exactly a statement player is he? All they'd really have to brag out is nicking a player that United tried for for a long long time at the last moment. If thats a big thing for them, well?
That's most likely what they're doing if anything imo... Keeping an eye in case they might get a deal if Barcelona feel they have to settle for any deal in the end.
I expect we'll get another update from a journalist saying United are comfortable with the situation and the cycle continues until Barca pay him.
