United deputy rubbishes Figo move rumours

MANCHESTER UNITED assistant manager Carlos Queiroz has confirmed the Red Devils have not made an approach for Real Madrid winger Luis Figo.

The Portuguese veteran has just a year left on his contract and, although reports suggest Real would be willing to release the 32-year-old early, Queiroz insists United have not made an enquiry.

However, the former Real coach is confident Figo will be snapped up by another of the game’s biggest clubs should he become available.
