“There have been some talks” – Midfielder speaks on Man United link

Fred has suggested that there is serious interest from rivals Manchester United in completing his signing from Shakhtar Donetsk this summer transfer window.

Man United strongly linked

United have been strongly linked with a transfer to sign the Brazilian international attacker this summer window as manager Jose Mourinho looks to upgrade his midfield line ahead of next term.

The Red Devils are likely to be strongly connected with a couple of players this summer as they look to upgrade themselves into true topflight league title contenders for next campaign.

Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Fred has been heavily tipped as one of the Red Devils top transfer targets for the summer.

Player confirm serious talks

Now, the footballer himself has confirmed interest from Premier League giants Manchester City and Manchester United this summer window.

Fred is cited as saying by Metro that there have been some advanced discussions since the New Year when he almost went to the Etihad Stadium.

The Red Devils suffered a less impressive end to the campaign last weekend when they lost 1-0 loss to Chelsea in the Emirates FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium.

United who finished the League season without a single honour, came second behind Manchester City in the English top flight log.
