Carlos Queirroz confirms midfielder is on the list
Carlos Queiroz has confirmed Manchester United's interest in Miguel Veloso,
but says signing the Sporting Lisbon midfielder is not a 'priority'.
Veloso has been tipped to follow former Sporting players Cristiano Ronaldo and
Nani to Old Trafford after impressing in the UEFA Champions League this season.
The youngster's agent Paulo Barbosa told Sky Sports News last week
that 'informal contact' had been made between the two clubs.
United's assistant manager Queiroz - a former coach of Sporting - acknowledged
Veloso was among a string of Portuguese players the Premier League champions
have been watching.
But Queiroz downplayed suggestions of an imminent deal for Veloso, saying the
club are well stocked in the midfield department.
Ridiculous
"The scouting department is everywhere and it would be ridiculous to say that
good players are not referenced," said Queiroz in Record.
"Miguel Veloso, Joao Moutinho, Quaresma, Bruno Alves, Bosingwa - all have been
watched by us.
"Do we want to get these players? Of course, everyone does, however we can
not work with 200 players!
"We have six players in Veloso's position, we signed Hargreaves this season and,
at this point, he is not part of our options to buy as a priority."
