Denis Zakaria has suggested that signing for Manchester United was never an option for him due to interest from Juventus. With six months left to run on his contract, the Italian giants snapped up the Swiss midfielder from Borussia Monchengladbach during the January transfer window.
Amid an ongoing pursuit to sign a top-level player in that position, United were monitoring Zakaria before the Old Lady won the race for his signature in a cut-price agreement worth €4.5million. Since then, the 25-year-old has only played three Serie A games due to a hamstring injury.
However, the early signs are encouraging enough as he prepares to return to action. As for United, meanwhile, key figures in the Old Trafford boardroom are set to step up their push for midfield recruits this summer.
