"It Really Could Have Happened" - France Star Explains Why He Rejected Manchester United Move Twice

  • Adrien Rabiot, a 30-year-old Marseille and France midfielder, twice rejected moves to Manchester United in 2023 and 2024.
  • These refusals occurred after positive transfer talks when his Juventus contract was ending and then after it expired, but Rabiot extended with Juventus and later signed for Marseille.
  • Rabiot cited Manchester United's unstable situation and doubts about their ability to compete for trophies as key reasons for hesitating to join the club.
  • He mentioned that the move was a possibility two years earlier, around the time his contract with Juventus was ending, and although there were detailed discussions and formal proposals from United, the transfer ultimately did not go through.
  • Rabiot now plays for Marseille, helped them finish runners-up in Ligue 1 securing Champions League football, and shares a squad with former United player Mason Greenwood.
