Augsburg left back Philipp Max is aware of rumours linking him with a move to England.

Max has been linked with Manchester United and Everton since the end of last season.

He said, "I am fully focused on the new season with FCA, but I cannot rule anything out", Max told German magazine Kicker

“Everything can happen in football. I feel very good and I did not renew for nothing.

“These are clubs are absolutely world class. It is a great honour that my name is even mentioned in this context.

"This shows that even outside of Germany, what happened last season is noticed.

"Of course, it is a dream to play for such a top club some day.

"But I am not under pressure. I try to let the speculation wash over me, otherwise it would drive me crazy."
