Kieran Trippier has opened up on his failed Manchester United transfer in 2021.
The England defender looked certain to make the switch from Atletico Madrid to Old Trafford after his role in Euro 2020.
But a move collapsed, and Trippier joined Newcastle six months later.
He told The Overlap: “United did come [in for me] straight after the Euros and that was very close. I grew up with my family being Reds, but it didn’t happen.
“Everything happens for a reason. It [the deal] just fell away. Ole was the manager at the time and everything seemed perfect, I was chuffed, it was Manchester United, the biggest club in the world.
“It didn’t happen, and I was back in Madrid. Six months later, I was at Newcastle.”
