Erling Haaland was at the centre of a transfer battle between Manchester United and Manchester City but has hinted that a move to Old Trafford was never on the cards.
The Norwegian hitman was much admired across the Premier League - and in Europe - following his goalscoring exploits for Red Bull Salzburg and then Borussia Dortmund.
The Red Devils were credited with considerable interest in the striker - with it previously being suggested that former boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was keen to bring his compatriot to Old Trafford.
