Midfielder keen on Old Trafford switch
Manchester United,
Last updated:
Reported Manchester United target Axel Witsel has indicated he would be prepared to leave Benfica for a bigger challenge.
The Belgian international enjoyed an impressive domestic campaign with the Portuguese giants last season and his performances have not gone unnoticed.
United have been credited with an interest in the 23-year-old, while Real Madrid, Chelsea and AC Milan are also thought to be keen.
Witsel insists he is happy at Benfica but would not rule out a summer move to one of Europe's top sides.
Witsel said: "It's nice to see my name linked to big clubs. It is a sign of recognition for my work.
"I had a very good season at Benfica and so other clubs show interest. But it does not mean more."
Meanwhile, Newcastle striker Papiss Cisse has rejected speculation linking him with a summer move to Old Trafford.
