Dayot Upamecano has spoken about how he turned down the opportunity to join Manchester United at the age of 17.
The France international, 22, is now regarded as one of the most accomplished central defenders in world football and is poised to join Bayern Munich from RB Leipzig ahead of next season.
Bayern paid his release clause of £38.5million to bolster their back line - but Upamecano's career path could have been quite different.
In an interview, he said that United registered their interest in him as a teenager.
