Schalke left-back Sead Kolasinac admits receiving offer from Manchester United

Sead Kolasinac of Schalke in action during the Bundesliga match between VfB Stuttgart and FC Schalke 04 at Mercedes-Benz Arena on April 20, 2014 in Stuttgart, Germany.

Schalke 04 left-back Sead Kolašinac has confirmed that he has received an offer from Manchester United and a summer move is on the cards.

“Yes, I have offer from Manchester United,” he told Bosnia and Herzegovina paper Dnevni Avaz. “But, I will not hurry with the decision [over my future]. I have to see what Schalke think about it.”

Kolašinac is now being touted as Patrice Evra’s long term replacement whose contract expires at the end of this season. Earlier, Southampton’s 18-year old Luke Shaw was heavily speculated to join the Red devils in the last transfer window, however, the move didn’t go through.
