Thomas Meunier makes Manchester United transfer admission

The Borussia Dortmund star has previously expressed his love for Man United and has spoken out again.

Borussia Dortmund's Thomas Meunier has claimed he would never 'say no' to joining Manchester United.

The Belgian right back was speaking to Het Laatste Nieuws about his potential chance to move to Barcelona which fell through despite the Catalan club offering Dortmund a deal. He explained: "It could have been… Barcelona were looking for a reliable right-back, someone who is physically strong, complete, and can be dangerous on stagnant stages, for an acceptable price, given their financial situation.

"I fit that profile, those different conditions. That’s what I have proven this season.

"But when Dortmund called me about the offer they had received from Barcelona, it immediately sounded like: 'Sorry, you can’t leave'." Meunier admitted that the opportunity to join a club like Barcelona, Real Madrid or Manchester United is one that the 30-year-old would not reject.

"Imagine, Dortmund are already a big club, but Barca, that is unique," he continued. "Just like Real, Bayern and United are in their way.

"In principle you don’t say ‘no’ to such clubs. Mentally it was not easy. But I understand Dortmund, it was barely a week before the end of the window."

This is not the first time Meunier has expressed his love for the Reds. In 2018, at the launch of the video game FIFA 18, the Dortmund defender claimed he had 'always been a fan of United' and that the Old Trafford outfit was the 'real' Manchester club.
