Belgian publication Het Laatste Nieuws claims that Manchester United
manager Sir Alex Ferguson has personally written to Standard Liege
captain Steven Defour to wish him a speedy recovery from a broken
foot and sparked suggestions that the Red Devils are keen on signing
the 21-year-old. The highly-rated midfielder, who is thought to be on
the radar of both Arsenal, Everton and Real Madrid, is likely to miss
several more weeks of action ruling him out of much of his team’s
Champions League group stage games.
"Dear Steven, I heard about your injury," the letter supposedly reads.
"You will probably be devastated at the moment and you'll have all
kinds of questions. However, there is no reason to be concerned as
everything will work out fine. You'll have to work hard to return to
match action, but I'll keep on monitoring your situation. I will stay in
touch with Standard Liege and I wish you a speedy recovery."
Defour is understood to have confirmed the receipt of the letter but
stressed that it was sent to him via the club and not addressed personally.
