Sporting CP centre-back Maurício has claimed that Manchester United have attempted to contact his manager.
The Premier League outfit signed Argentina international Marcos Rojo from Sporting in the summer and Maurício believes they could target him next.
‘’They [Manchester United] sought my manager, Carlos Goncalves,’’ he said, as reported by HITC SPORT.
‘’But I am centred, focused and a very calm person. It was not a certain thing. Here at Sporting, people like me very much and I am very happy.’’
Maurício has been a regular under new Head Coach Marco Silva this season. The 26 year-old has made eight appearances in all competitions.
