Cruzeiro striker Marcelo Moreno claims Manchester United have made an approach for him.
The 20-year-old has two goals in four games for Bolivia after choosing them ahead of Brazil, where his father was born and whom he represented at Under-20 level.
Moreno's form in the Copa Libertadores has alerted several clubs to his obvious potential but he has told A Tarde that United and Shakhtar Donetsk have made concrete proposals.
"We know that we can dream of winning this trophy," he said. "So when I received the proposals [from United and Shakhtar], I spoke with the directors of the club and we decided to wait until the end of the Copa Libertadores to see what we will do."
The prolific former Vitoria marksman has eight goals in South America's top domestic competition and is hoping to help turf Boca Juniors out of the tournament this week.
"We have a young team but we are confident of overcoming a great team like Boca Juniors," he added.
United will be in the market for a new striker this summer with serious doubts over injury-prone hit-man Louis Saha's future at Old Trafford, although Angola attacker Manucho is due to compete for a squad place if he can obtain the necessary paperwork.
