Valencia defender Roberto Ayala has issued a " come and get me" plea to Manchester United, saying he could not ignore a call from Old Trafford.
The Argentina international has also been linked with a move to Liverpool in recent weeks but insists Old Trafford would be his preferred destination.
Ayala said: " I turned down Liverpool because my opinion is that if I leave Valencia it will be for a bigger club.
" Manchester United are different. They are the kind of club who interest me a lot. If they came in it would be impossible to say no - I think I would be a success there," he added in the Sunday Mirror.
United are currently short of defensive options with Wes Brown and Gary Neville out injured and having lost Laurent Blanc and David May in the close-season.
However, chief executive Peter Kenyon did suggest on Saturday that they are unlikely to make any more signings before the Champions League transfer deadline at the end of the month.
