Manchester United and Arsenal were interested in Miguel Almiron before he signed for Newcastle United during the January transfer window.
Daniel Campos, who represents the former Atlanta United star, told Paraguayan radio station ABC Cardinal (h/t Metro): "There was interest shown by Manchester United in Miguel Almiron but they never made an offer. Arsenal and Southampton offered loan deals for Miguel Almiron but we did not want it to be a loan."
The Gunners' links to Almiron date back to October, but the north London club instead opted to acquire Denis Suarez on loan from Barcelona.
