Manchester United are at the head of the Premier League pack chasing Belgium midfield star Steven Defour, according to his agent.
Defour, 22, won the Belgian Golden Shoe in 2008 as the best player in the Jupiter League but his progress was curtailed by a broken leg. This injury prompted United manager Sir Alex Ferguson to send a letter to the player.
Speaking to Sport.co.uk, agent Paul Stefani confirmed the Scot was still interested in the Standard Liege skipper and he was waiting for "an offer to be validated."
He said: “Sir Alex is always interested in Steven ever since he sent him the letter when he was struggling with injury. He is interested but we have to wait for an offer to be validated.
"At the moment he is not 100 per cent because of his long term injury, and now he has to work on recovering from this."
Stefani also stated Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City were ready to swoop in for his client's signature as soon as he reaches full fitness.
"Yes, they are interested, but many clubs are interested, from Spain, Italy, and Germany. To say that tomorrow he will go to England is not right," he added.
“There is always interest and everyone wants to play in the Premier League because it is a very big competition. But, I think we will have to wait until he is a 100 percent fit, not 85 percent."
