Come in, Dante! Bayern defender confirms Moyes' interest in taking him to Old Trafford



Bayern Munich's Dante has confirmed Manchester United's interest in signing him this month.



David Moyes is in desperate need of a new central defender with questions marks surrounding the futures of Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic.



The 30-year-old wouldn't offer any long-term solutions for Moyes and still has two years left on his deal with the German champions - but could be a good quick fix.

When asked if he had signed for United, Dante said 'not yet,' but did indicate that Moyes is keeping tabs on his situation.

'I'm thankful for the Manchester United interest, it will all be sorted out by the end of the month.'

Dante, who has won 10 caps for Brazil, was part of the Bayern side that was dismantled by Manchester City in December but has a tremendous pedigree on the continent after winning the European Cup last season.

He was an integral part of the side as they also won the Bundesliga and the German Cup.



Moyes wants to land Chelsea's Juan Mata in the next week as he attempts to bolster a seriously beleaguered squad.
