Manchester United target Miguel Veloso claims he has received contact from AC Milan and says a move to the Italian giants would be a "dream".

The Sporting Lisbon midfielder has attracted several suitors this season, with Manchester United reportedly having a bid for Veloso and his Sporting team-mate Joao Moutinho knocked back earlier in the year.

The 22-year-old, who is currently at Euro 2008 with the Portugal squad, now says he is confident of a deal being struck with Milan.

"Me to Milan? I'd say yes to them, it's a dream (to play for them)," he said in Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport.

"You only have look at what they've won in Europe and internationally.

"I'd say there was a good chance (of a deal being struck), yes. They've contacted us, now we'll wait."

Reports in Portugal also suggest that Barcelona are set to make a 25million euro bid for Veloso's midfield partner Moutinho.

However, the Portuguese youngster was less emphatic about any possible transfer activity, saying: "Right now I'm only thinking about Euro 2008 and after the tournament there will be time to think about these things."
