Juventus hitman Mario Mandzukic has revealed he spurned the chance to join Manchester United this summer.

According to Calciomercato, the Croatian World Cup finalist had the opportunity to sign for Jose Mourinho’s men but instead opted to stay in Turin and fight for his place, despite Cristiano Ronaldo‘s arrival.

The 32-year-old, reportedly, had long since been on United’s radar, however, their attempts to acquire the former Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid forward failed to materialise even though Mandzukic was offered a sizeable contract offer.
