"Manchester United" is seriously interested in the possibility of signing a contract with experienced Portuguese national team defender Pepe after the season, "The Sun" reported. The 33-year-old footballer's contract with Madrid's "Real" ends after this season, but the "Red Devils" are not rushing to make a new offer to the Portuguese for now. It is expected that Pepe will receive a new contract, but if negotiations prolong - the defender may consider a departure. It is said that "Juventus" from Turin is already fighting for Pepe's signature, but Jose Mourinho believes that good relationships with his former pupil could help him in negotiations. Pepe demonstrated his best football last season in his entire career, but "Real" facing a problem - Raphael Varane is not willing to be satisfied with a substitute role, so Pepe became Zinedine Zidane's third choice this season. In addition, Zidane will receive reinforcements in the summer - two promising Spaniards returning from loans, competing in the center-back position - Jesus Vallejo and Diego Llorente. Zidane has to make a tough decision - Pepe's experience or youth and prospects in the future."
