Former Barcelona defender Thiago Alcantara was linked with Manchester United before moving to Bayern, but claims he did not receive any offer.

The player's father and agent Mazinho said that his son was close to an agreement with the "Red Devils," but Thiago denies such rumors.

"The truth is that there were no negotiations with United at all. This rumor spread from the media and was always false," the Spaniard denied talks about a Manchester United offer.

Bayern Munich paid 25 million euros for the European Under-21 champion, while Manchester United is now trying to lure his former teammate Cesc Fabregas.
