Emre Can has revealed he rejected the chance to join Manchester United in January due to his close affiliation with rivals Liverpool.

Manchester United were among his admirers but the 26-year-old ended up joining Borussia Dortmund on an initial loan move, which will be made permanent at the end of the season.
