Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Fred is reportedly wanted by Manchester United and Manchester City, and his representative, former Arsenal star Gilberto Silva, has confirmed the Premier League is his client's preferred destination.

Gilberto added that English clubs made enquiries about the 25-year-old in the January transfer window, and he left the door open for a summer departure from Shakhtar, per Sky Sports (via Metro's Simon Rice): "Yes [we've had inquiries from the Premier League]. We had in this last window, but it didn't happen. Shakhtar Donetsk rely too much on him, he's doing a great job for the club.
