Bordeaux winger Malcom has said that he is not aware of interest from Liverpool and Manchester United.

As a result, he has been linked with some of the game’s biggest clubs, but the youngster is playing it cool.

“I don’t know anything about Liverpool or Manchester United,” he told Goal.

“I’m very calm. I’m only thinking of Bordeaux today. I want to do my job well and give the French fans lots of joy.

“I will continue to work hard with my usual humility.”

“France has changed my style of play a little bit,” he admitted. “I defended more with Corinthians. In Bordeaux, I’ve been asked to defend only the midfield and seek to get in behind the defence. I’m using this No.10 shirt with the function of a No.10.

“I’m playing a lot, showing up, growing up, and displaying the real Malcom. But I know I can still improve.”

Malcom has played 30 times for Bordeaux this term, scoring four and laying on two more.
