Shakhtar Donetsk star makes Manchester United and Liverpool FC transfer admission

Shakhtar Donetsk winger Tete has admitted his dream transfer would be a switch to Manchester United, Liverpool or Barcelona.

The 20-year-old has netted four goals and registered four assists in the Ukrainian Premier League this season and featured in 1-1 draw against Manchester City during the Champions League group stage.

Tete joined Shakhtar from Gremio in February 2019 but revealed he has ambitions to play in the Premier League.

United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is eager to strengthen his options in the final third and MEN Sport understand Jadon Sancho, Jack Grealish and James Maddison remain his priority targets.

Tete admitted a move to Old Trafford would be a dream come true.

"Three clubs are part of my dream in Europe: Barcelona, Manchester United and Liverpool," he told Esporte Interativo.

"Gigantic clubs with fantastic managers and an incredible number of trophies. As a player, I dream of winning important titles and those clubs are incredible options to achieve that.

"I know United and Liverpool are rivals. But, if the moment of choosing one of them actually came about I would have to choose wisely.

"The Premier League is an extraordinary competition, the game is played at a great pace, there are lots of great managers and great clubs.

"I feel the players have more creative freedom there. That's the difference amongst Europe's biggest leagues."
