The captain of the Swedish national team, Andreas Granqvist, confirmed that there is some interest from "Manchester United" in him.
The 33-year-old defender is currently playing for his country's "Helsingborg" club. In the past, he has also worn the jerseys of teams such as "Krasnodar", "Genoa", "Groningen", and "Wigan Athletic".
In the World Cup held this summer, J. Granqvist scored two goals and led Sweden to the quarterfinals. Despite his age, J. Mourinho would like to see a defender in his team who stands out for his fighting spirit and good ball play.
"There is some interest. Everything is at about the level as it is written in the press," - the defender said after the victory against "Falkenberg".
"I don't close the doors to anyone. However, there is still a long way to go until a deal is reached, nothing concrete at the moment. As I mentioned before, I am extremely happy just hearing the fact that my name is associated with a club like 'Man Utd'.
We'll see what happens. Interest has already been shown. It is realistic that a specific offer will be submitted in January, which we will consider together with 'Helsingborg'," added A. Granqvist.
