Porto deny United Bosingwa raid
Porto have rejected claims that Manchester United have made a move to bring highly-rated full-back Jose Bosingwa to Old Trafford in the summer.
United have been strongly linked with a summer move for the defender as they search for a long-term replacement for Gary Neville.
The 25-year-old has refused to rule out a move away from Estadio do Dragao, but Porto president Pinto da Costa insists they have had no offer from United for Bosingwa.
Da Costa revealed Aston Villa had a bid rebuffed for Bosingwa last year and Porto are keen to keep hold of the defender.
"We have not had a proposal [from Manchester United]," 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."
