Palermo defender Simon Kjaer would be unconcerned at joining Manchester United despite being a fan of their bitter rivals, Liverpool. The Reds are reportedly keeping tabs on the Denmark international, who has been linked with a number of top clubs in the past, including Real Madrid and Liverpool.

The 20-year-old told Tipsbladet: "If United just had two defenders whilst Liverpool had three, I would choose United without hesitation.

"It does not help to choose with the heart in that kind of situation. I am a professional."
