Brazilian national team defender Cicinho admitted that two English clubs, Manchester United and Liverpool, have shown serious interest.

After his strong performance for the Brazilian national team during the Confederations Cup in Germany, the player caught the attention of the big Milan teams. However, it seems that the interest of the Milan giants in the defender has cooled, which two English "heavyweights" took advantage of by expressing their serious desire to acquire the player.

"Manchester United is a great club aiming for many trophies, but recently I heard that even Liverpool has started showing interest in me. It's a matter for my agents," said the Brazilian.

"I visited Manchester, I was shown their training facilities. I talked to Sir Alex Ferguson, he wanted to know my opinion on the Premier League. I told him that every Brazilian thinks this league is very good, and every professional should consider it a fantastic challenge."

"The game in England is very fast and physical, but I believe I will quickly adapt here."
