Xavi confirms United enquiry
Barcelona schemer Xavi has confirmed Manchester United have made an enquiry to his agent.
The Spain international is settled at Camp Nou but clearly has an admirer in Sir Alex Ferguson.
The Red Devils have been determined to strengthen their midfield for some time but, with Bayern Munich blocking all bids for Owen Hargreaves, only Michael Carrick has arrived since Roy Keane's exit in 2005.
"It's true that the contact arrived with my agent Ivan Corretja to play for United but I have a contract with Barca and we have demanded that this was with the club," Xavi told BTV.
"After that, I do not know what has happened between the clubs.
"In England, there's a rumour about a possible exchange between Cristiano Ronaldo and myself but I do not know of anything formally that has ever been discussed."
