French goalkeeper Sebastian Frey claims he is on Manchester United's shopping list and that preliminary talks between his representative and Old
Trafford officials have already taken place.
The Parma player, 24, has established a reputation as one of Serie A's finest goalkeepers and has been a near ever-present over the past three
seasons.
Although he has yet to make his international debut, and can not currently break into the France squad where former United goalkeeper Fabien Barthez
is the undisputed number one, Frey has many admirers.
He contends that United are among the clubs wanting to prise him away from Parma who experienced severe financial problems last season and were forced
into offloading a host of star players, including Brazilian striker Adriano and Japanese midfielder Hidetoshi Nakata, to raise funds.
