Wolves Raul Jimenez explains failed Manchester United move

Wolves striker Raul Jimenez has confirmed that Manchester United made him their top target last summer.

Boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer eventually swooped for ex-Paris Saint Germain hitman Edinson Cavani – who had been available for THREE MONTHS.

In an interview with Mexican website TUDN, Jimenez confirmed United and Juve wanted him.

He said: “During vacations or a transfer window, a new team will come out every day. What I knew was about the news, rumours.

“One day I’d wake up and Juventus loved me, another it’d be Manchester United, and what I know is that there were approaches.

“But an agreement was never reached, nothing close, but I’m very good at Wolves.”
