Manchester United transfer news: Marek Hamsik insists he would leave Napoli if Red Devils came calling

MAREK HAMSIK has admitted it would be hard for him to turn down a move to Manchester United if they ever came calling.

The Slovakian has been chased by a string of top clubs throughout the game but has always chosen to remain loyal to Napoli.

Yet there has always been a frustration at the inability to mount a sustained challenge to win the Italian title in recent years with Juventus so dominant.

And the opportunity to move to one of the biggest clubs in world football would leave the icon of Naples with a tough decision to make.

Speaking in an interview with German magazine Kicker, Hamsik was asked whether a move to Manchester United, Bayern Munich or Barcelona would appeal to him.

He replied: "That's hard to say. It would surely be the hardest decision of my career.

"Maybe everyone wants to play at these clubs, but I can't answer that.
