Raul Jimenez is flattered by speculation linking him with a summer move to Manchester United, according to his father.
The Wolves striker has scored 22 goals in all competitions this season, spearheading his side’s bid for a top four place and helping them progress to the latter stages of the Europa League.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is hoping to bolster his forward line in the summer, despite the progress made by Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood this season.
Odion Ighalo’s future, meanwhile, remains uncertain and Jimenez has been linked with a move to Old Trafford on the back of his continued excellence.
‘Raul has always said it’s something very cool (to hear of the interest).’ Jimenez’s father told Medio Tiempo.
‘He’s very happy at his club, hopefully getting into positions for Champions League and Europa League at the moment. Always for him, all of that will be very gratifying, very cool to hear those comments.
‘Right now is the time of rumours, God willing the league hopefully resumes next month and that’s where we are right now.
‘The rest, there is nothing. He’s only commented on what he sees that they publish, but nothing at the moment.
‘Later, if there is something different, we will see. But now, yes, they are mere speculation and rumours.’
