Bayer Leverkusen goalkeeper Matej Kovar says former club Manchester United "is in my heart".

Kovar left United for Bayer last summer.

He told Sport: "Of course, they're [United] still my heart. I spent many years at the club. I'll take a look when I get a chance. United are going through a difficult season.

"The results are like a merry-go-round. But it's a big and great club, I hope it gets back to the top.

"We all agreed that going to Leverkusen made sense.

"It was a shift for me. And if someone had told me before the season that I would play around 15 games for Leverkusen, one of the best teams in Europe, I would have taken all ten. I believe that I made the right move and that it will be confirmed in the future."
