The agent of Paris Saint Germain defender, Marquinhos, has confirmed that Manchester United are interested in his client, according to reports in France.
Manchester United boss Louis Van Gaal has targeted the Brazilian defender to bolster his side, should United qualify for the Champions League next season.
And now, Giuliano Bertolucci, the agent of the 20-year-old has confirmed rumoured interest.
‘Last summer, PSG’s president [Nasser Al-Khelaifi] declared that Marquinhos was unsellable,’ he told Le Parisien.
‘We will see what their position is this summer. Many clubs are interested in the player. Manchester United are one of them, this is true.
‘He wants to become the best defender in the world. He is not a lesser player compared with Thiago Silva or David Luiz.
‘He respects the decisions of his coach, but just wants to play and spend as little time as possible on the bench.
‘Marquinhos is prepared to play at right-back and even in defensive midfield if he has to.’
