Benfica midfielder Enzo Perez resists Man Utd, Valencia rumours

Benfica midfielder Enzo Perez has cooled reports linking him with Valencia and Manchester United.

Prior to joining up with Alejandro Sabella's Argentina squad for the World Cup, Perez signed a contract extension which will keep him at the Stadium of Light until 2018, but understands speculation has been rife.

"I know about their interest, I have heard about these possibilities and my agent told me about them too," he told O Jogo regarding the reports of interest from United and Valencia.

"There is the possibility of playing for Valencia, who are a great club, but right now I want to be fully focused on the Argentina national team and on the World Cup."
