Okore flattered with link to United

He has impressed many in Europe this year and now FC Nordsjaelland defender Jores Okore is said to be flattered by speculation that he may be moving to Manchester United in January.

Although there haven’t been any formal talks with the player United Scouts are said to be tracking the young Danish defender to help boost their frail defence.

Jores Okore was first mentioned to United after former goalkeeper and fellow Dane Peter Schmeichel recommended the talent to Sir Alex.

Okore has played well this season but even he wouldn’t have dreamed of being linked with someone like United. At this moment in time Okore and his personal team are happy to be linked with the club but aren’t getting carried away with media speculation.

Many clubs are keen on the defender because of his youthful age and the potential he has. But Okore it is a case of finding the right team that suits him and a team that is going to play and use him like his current side do.

Okore is two games shy of 50 appearances for his club side and his recent performances has seen him earn four caps for his national team Denmark.
