Ajax striker Brian Brobbey has revealed that he was approached by Manchester United but opted for a move to Ajax over joining Erik ten Hag's side in 2022.
"Erik ten Hag called me and said that at United, my agent would get millions of euros and I could earn a multiple of my Ajax salary," he said. "But our decision was clear: we wanted to go to Ajax.
"Manchester United wanted to have me, but I insisted on returning to Ajax. To make that possible, my agent Jose Fortes Rodriguez even waived a hefty percentage of the sell-on clause."
The 21-year-old is being linked with a move to Old Trafford again this month. Brobbey is back in Holland after a difficult loan spell at RB Leipzig where he registered just three assists in 14 appearances.
Ten Hag knows Brobbey very well, having worked with him in Amsterdam. Despite Ajax's struggles, the 22-year-old has scored 12 goals already this season.
