London, Oct. 7 (ANI): Dinamo Zagreb's Alen Halilovic is apparently trying to ignore rumours linking him with a move to Old Trafford.
He insists that the comparisons of him with soccer star Lionel Messi are premature.
While Sir Alex Ferguson remains committed to leaving a lasting legacy at United and continues to monitor Halilovic, the youngster says he does not want to think about the speculation just now, and insists his focus is on playing for Zagreb.
"Stories about Manchester United? I do not spend much time thinking about those rumours. Dinamo Zagreb will decide what happens. All I have to do is try to improve as much as I can, everything else does not matter now," the Daily Mirror quoted Halilovic, as saying.
Halilovic's movement on the ball has been likened to a young Messi, but the Zagreb starlet wants to play down such talk.
"I read in the newspapers that I look like Leo Messi when I play, but I think the comparison is simply exaggerated! Messi is a role model for many young players, but I do not know if everyone can be like him," he said. (ANI)
