Porto: No United Bid For Bosingwa
-
Porto have dismissed reports that they have received an official bid from Manchester United for defender José Bosingwa and revealed that only Aston Villa have made an enquiry.
The Portuguese club's president, Pinto da Costa, confirmed that no contact had been made with the Old Trafford giants and stated that the club did not want to sell.
While Tottenham Hotspur have also had their name in the frame, Da Pinto was reacting to stories that suggested that Porto had spoke to Manchester United about the 25-year-old.
"We have not had a proposal," Da Costa told O Jogo. "In the past year, Aston Villa revealed themselves to be an interested party, but we did not accept the proposal.
"He is another of the players we intend to keep."
Bosingwa joined Porto in 2003 from Boavista when José Mourinho spotted his potential after starting his career at Freamunde.
