Pepe does not rule out move to Man Utd

LONDON: Pepe Reina on Tuesday sensationally opened the door to a £20mil summer move to Manchester United.

Liverpool keeper Reina stunned the Kop by refusing to rule out a move to Old Trafford in the close season.

With Edwin van der Sar hanging up his gloves, speculation has been rife that United boss Alex Ferguson will try to snatch the stopper by paying the £20mil get-out clause in his contract.

Asked directly about United’s interest on Spanish radio station Onda Cero, Reina dropped a massive hint that it could happen.

“Yes, well Van der Sar will hang up his gloves in the summer so of course they are looking,” said Reina.

“I can’t do anything. I can’t say anything logically as I have a contract with Liverpool.

“Of course one likes to fight for titles and be in a team that do that.

“We always fought to be in the Champions League and try to win the title.

“But unfortunately it hasn’t been the case in the last couple of years.”

Reina also refused to rule out quitting Anfield if Liverpool finish outside the top four.

He said: “I won’t lie, I want to play in the Champions League and challenge for titles.”

Meanwhile, Reina has defended the decision taken by his Liverpool and Spain team-mate Fernando Torres to join Chelsea and urged fans of the Anfield club to remember the good times he brought them.

Torres incensed some Liverpool fans with his explanation that he joined Chelsea because he wanted to win trophies and some burned his number nine shirt in protest.

Reina said there was nothing to be done but wish the striker good luck.

“Football is like that, as players we come and go,” Reina was quoted as saying in Spanish media.

“You have to understand his decision, he felt it was a good opportunity to continue developing.

“The club has to look forward and forget Fernando. He is not here anymore and we can’t do anything but wish him a lot of luck.”
