I've been impressed with Ochoa ever since I saw him in Mexico's first game against Brazil in last year's Copa America. Has there been any interest in him from European clubs?

There were rumors of Manchester United pursuing Ochoa but nothing ever came of them. Ochoa could easily play in Europe, but with America having lost Blanco a year ago, I don't think they could or should get rid of their big superstar right now.
