Hertha Berlin's Gilberto has refused to reject speculation linking him with a move to Manchester United.

German newspaper Bild am Sonntag claims that the Brazilian left-back's agent has negotiated a two-year deal with The Red Devils which will come into effect when the 31-year-old's contract expires at the end of the season.

And Gilberto has remained coy about the rumours, while confirming that he has received a number of offers.

Resolution

"I don't want to say much about it," Gilberto told the Bild am Sonntag.

"I have received many offers. I might stay in Berlin, but then again I might go to England, Portugal or back to Brazil."

Meanwhile, Hertha manager Dieter Hoeness is keen to quickly resolve the situation.

"His future is high on our list of priorities - whatever he may decide. We want him to extend his contract, but we can also live with a future without him," he added.
