Borussia Dortmund midfielder Emre Can has revealed Manchester United were among the sides to pursue him in January, but he was quick to turn them down.

The German moved to Dortmund from Juventus, whom he joined from United's bitter rivals Liverpool in 2018.

"I had three offers from the Premier League alone, including from Manchester United, but I didn't think about that for a second because of my Liverpool past.

"I have always had an extreme sympathy for BVB. I wanted to go to a club for which I can be important where I am needed.
