Nicolas Gaitan would welcome a move to Manchester United, claims his agent.

The 24-year-old has been linked with a move to Old Trafford for much of the season, having helped Benfica knock the Reds out of the UEFA Champions League at the group stage.

Gaitan is under contract at the Portuguese giants until the summer of 2016, but the Argentine forward’s agent admits a move to United appeals.

"Nicolas likes Manchester United a lot - he would like to play for Manchester United," said Jose Ibarren. "If there is an offer for him Nicolas would be happy to listen and negotiate."
