‘Exceptional’ Man United target discusses £30m rumours

Everton Soares has spoken out over rumours linking him with a £30m move to Manchester United.

Reports from last week suggested that United were tracking the progress of Gremio forward Everton, who has been impressing in Brazil.

United are said to be considering a potential bid for the player, who has been valued at around £30m.

The 22-year-old has scored 16 goals and assisted three in 37 games this season, and says he is “going through an exceptional phase”.

But he has ruled out the chances of a move in January, adding that his future will likely be decided in the summer.

“We all hear the rumours at some point, right?,” he told SporTV.

“I’m going through an exceptional phase, and we know how hard it is when clubs from England look at Brazilian players, for their quality.

“Let’s see what happens at the end of the season, wait until it is over, and see what’s best both for me and Gremio.”
