Sporting Lisbon president Lopes cannot rule out Man Utd move for Rui Patricio

Sporting Lisbon president Godinho Lopes is coy over interest from Manchester United for goalkeeper Rui Patricio.

The 24 year-old shot-stopper is under consideration at United as a replacement for the retiring Edwin van der Sar.

Lopes has refused to rule out a move for his in-form goalkeeper.

"At the moment I'd rather not say anything about the existence of offers for our player," Lopes said. "Rui Patricio is playing very well and is part of the plans for Sporting next season.

"I trust he will continue to put in good performances with us."
