Bayern Munich midfielder Arturo Vidal has revealed he chose to snub EPL side United for the German champions.
Vidal left Juventus last season for Bayern, but was also courted by Manchester United.
And the midfielder thought he was joining United, before opting for Bayern.
When asked about United’s interest, he told the Times: “Yes, there was a chance to come to England. It was last summer, and at one point, we thought that is what would happen.
“I liked the opportunity that they had offered me, but eventually it did not happen and I chose to come to Bayern. There are always many teams around that go to my agent.
“I wanted to come to a team this strong and to a project that is so ambitious. I feel very happy. It helped that I knew what the country was like and what the people were like.
“We are better, me and my wife and my children. Life is good, very calm. We are starting to feel more comfortable.”
