Mario Jara, the agent of Paraguay national team goalkeeper Orlando Gill, has confirmed that discussions with Manchester United have taken place while insisting that the “time is now” for his client to cash in on his World Cup fame with a transfer.
Gill caught the eye between the posts as Paraguay made a shock run to the round of 16, dumping historic giant Germany out of the tournament along the way. The towering goalkeeper was spuriously linked with United among several other clubs in what seemed like the sort sort of fanciful speculation which dominates the aftermath of major tournaments, but Jara revealed that there was some truth to the talk.
