Manchester United have been linked with a move for Raul Jimenez and the forward has revealed he does not have a release clause in his current contract.

“There is no release clause, but the clubs [in England], it is different how they are managed.”
There’s no denying that Jimenez was one of the stars of the season before the coronavirus pandemic brought a halt to the season last month, scoring 22 goals in all competitions.
