United step-up interest in winger

Last updated : 27 May 2002 By


Manchester United have reportedly stepped-up their interest in Blackburn winger Damien Duff.

The 23-year-old, who is on World Cup duty with Ireland, has been heavily linked with the bin-dippers at Anfield but only recently said he wanted to stay at Rovers.

"The Liverpool interest is just speculation," said Duff. "I'm happy at Blackburn - we have European football to look forward to at the club. I'm in no rush to do anything about my future or go anywhere."
