The highly-rated French defender is destined for Bayern Munich this summer, but he wanted to head for Old Trafford at the age of 17
Dayot Upamecano has admitted that he wanted to link up with Manchester United at the age of 17, but was talked out of a move by his parents and is now Bayern Munich-bound.
The highly-rated French defender was courted by leading sides across Europe when making his way through the youth ranks at Valenciennes.
Premier League heavyweights from Old Trafford were among those to make their interest known, with Upamecano initially keen on trying his luck with the Red Devils.
