DBasia.news – Former Liverpool defensive midfielder Emre Can closed the possibility of joining Manchester United. His track record when with The Reds became the main reason.
The name Can was indeed associated with Manchester United in the transfer window last winter. Red Devils wanted to get his unused performance at Juventus.
But the rumor ended after Can chose to leave for Borussia Dortmund. Manchester United finally recruited Bruno Fernandes.
For Can, defending Manchester United never crossed his mind. He highly respects Liverpool and its supporters.
Can defended Liverpool from 2014 to 2018. He appeared in a total of 167 matches and scored 14 goals and 12 assists.
“I will never play for United because I have been in Liverpool. My heart will not allow it,” Can said as quoted by Sport Bild.
“The rivalry between the two clubs is so great.”
After going through difficult times at Juventus, Can wants to make it up with Dortmund. He felt very comfortable there even though he had only joined for a few months.
“When I came to Dortmund last winter, many things felt similar to Liverpool because they both had a similar atmosphere and unique fans. In addition, the two clubs also loved Juergen Klopp,” he concluded.
