He told Portuguese newspaper
O Jogo: "I already showed thatinterest in playing there (at Manchester United). It's one of the bestclubs in the world,
a club that I admire a lot. It would be an honour toplay there."
United have continued to monitor his situation atthe Bernabeu and will try to tempt the 27-year-old left-back once againat the end of the season,
