Man United receive huge boost as they are told transfer target ‘will leave’ this summer after failed Liverpool offer

Brazilian midfielder Andre has been linked to Manchester United, and Fluminense president Mario Bittencourt has acknowledged that the team is eager to sell.

Mario Bittencourt, the president of Fluminense, said he has pledged to assist midfield player Andre in “fulfilling his dream of playing in Europe,” which has Manchester United on high alert.

According to reports from Brazil, Andre is being connected to both Wolves and United.

Mirror Football has learned that Wolves are interested in the player but are not currently actively pursuing a transfer, which puts United in a strong position should a deal for Manuel Ugarte fall through.

Liverpool tried to sign Andre last season, but Fluminense turned them down since they saw the midfield player as essential to their winning effort.

When asked about Andre’s future, Bittencourt detailed Liverpool’s attempts to sign the 23-year-old and admitted Fluminense are now willing to cash in on him if an appropriate offer comes in from Europe.

“Liverpool actually made an official offer last year during the Libertadores round of 16,” Bittencourt revealed in an interview with Flashscore. “Liverpool’s directors contacted me directly, but I told them the player wasn’t for sale at that time.

“We wanted to keep him for the Libertadores because we truly believed we could win it last year. We were fully prepared for that competition. Liverpool understood our position on the matter.

“He’s the player we’ve expected for over a year to attract offers. If no offer comes, we’ll keep the player and certainly increase his value even more. Offers might come in December, January or mid-next year. To be honest, the player and his agent have were very fair to us last year.
