Juventus talent Nicolo Fagioli turned down the opportunity to join Manchester United - despite having a "wonderful bond" with Cristiano Ronaldo.
That's according to Fagioli's brother Alessandro. The 21-year-old has broken into Juventus ' first team this season, starting their last three Serie A fixtures to help Massimiliano Allegri's side win six consecutive league games and jump up to third in the table.
Fagioli has previously been linked with a move away from Juventus, yet it's claimed he never wanted to leave. The Italy international's brother has revealed his sibling was determined to stay in Turin and fight for his place - a decision that's now paying dividends.
