The German midfielder was a wanted man in January with a number of Premier League clubs interested in signing him
Emre Can has revealed Manchester United were one of three Premier League clubs that tried to sign him in January before he decided to swap Juventus for Borussia Dortmund.
The 26-year-old was struggling for regular game time in Turin and didn't hide his anger when he was excluded from Juve's Champions League squad at the start of the season.
Having began his senior career with Bayern Munich, Can opted for a return to the Bundesliga earlier this year as he signed a loan deal with Dortmund that was quickly made permanent.
