Man Utd, Liverpool linked as Raul admits English offers

Manchester United and Liverpool are being linked with departing Real Madrid captain Raul.

The veteran striker announced his departure from the club where he has spent his entire career and had been expected to sign for Schalke, possibly as early as this afternoon, but the 33-year-old says a move to the Barclays Premier League is also a possibility.

"The German team is interested in me and I have had very deep discussions with them," he said.

"In a few days I will know whether I'll be going to the Bundesliga, but there are other teams that are also interested. What is clear is that my future lies in Germany or England," he added.

Reports in Spain have strongly linked Tottenham and Newcastle with the veteran, though respective managers Harry Redknapp and Chris Hughton have both distanced their clubs from a deal.

Manchester United and Liverpool have also been mooted as potential destinations.
