Estudiantes keeper Mariano Andujar claims he has heard
that Manchester United are interested in signing him.
Although another goalie would hardly seem to be a priority for
Sir Alex Ferguson as he already has Edwin van der Sar, Ben Foster
and Tomasz Kuszczak on his books, Andujar has revealed his agent
has been talking to clubs in Europe.
"I don’t know anything, but this news makes me feel like I’m
above the clouds,” Andujar told La Red radio station.
"Wow! Going to Manchester United would be incredible!
"For some reason the club have bought [Mariano] Barbosa because
they might think I could be leaving. At the moment, we have five
keepers but the club are free to sign whoever they want."
The 24-year-old has already played in Europe for Palermo,
on loan, but is likely to represent his current club
in the Copa Sudamericana before contemplating another move.
Ferguson has a habit of chopping and changing his keepers quite
regularly but with Ben Amos also coming through the ranks, it would
seem highly unlikely that he would bring in another glovesman
without releasing one of his top-line keepers.
