Agent confirms Manchester United's Marquinhos interest

The agent of Paris Saint-Germain defender Marquinhos has revealed that Manchester United are among "many clubs" that have shown an interest in his client.

It was recently speculated that United boss Louis van Gaal had identified the 20-year-old, who has made just 10 Ligue 1 starts this season, as the ideal player to boost his defensive ranks at Old Trafford.

When asked about those reports by Le Parisien, the centre-back's representative Giuliano Bertolucci responded: "Last summer, PSG's president declared that Marquinhos was unsellable.

"We will see what their position is this summer. Many clubs are interested in the player [and] Manchester United are one of them, this is true."

One report had claimed that PSG would demand £112m for their Brazilian international.
