The agent of FC Nordsjælland defender Jores Okore has confirmed growing transfer interest in the young Dane.

Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel admitted only last month that he's recommended the youngster to Sir Alex Ferguson.

"Juventus and Manchester United are interested in him? I cannot say which specific clubs have shown interest, but I can confirm that there has been contact. If a club wants him, they have to make an offer to his club in January, but Jores is focused on Nordsjælland and not the market," Nikola Juric Jaegerfeld told notiziariosportivo.com.
