Atletico open to Miranda exit

Atletico Madrid are open to offloading defender Miranda at the end of the season, according to a report.

The Brazilian defender had been constantly linked with a switch away from Vicente Calderon in January, with United favourites to secure his services.

According to Spanish daily Marca, the 30-year-old is likely to exit the Basque outfit at the end of the current campaign, and the Red Devils are reckoned to be favourites to land his services when the transfer window reopens in the summer.

Miranda has failed to cement his place in the first-team ever since his return from injury.
