Transfer: Coutinho snubs Man Utd move ‘because of Liverpool’
Barcelona
midfielder, Philippe Coutinho, will turn down a move to Manchester United this
summer out of respect to former club Liverpool, Sky Sports reports.
Coutinho is widely
expected to leave Spain in the transfer window, after a below-par season at
Camp Nou.
United were thought
to be the frontrunners for the 27-year-old and were weighing up a move for the
Brazil playmaker.
However, Coutinho
is unwilling to consider a move to Old Trafford, after his spell at Liverpool
from 2013-2018.
After a loan spell
in Espanyol, Coutinho left Inter Milan permanently in January 2013, to join
Liverpool for £8.5m.
It was at Anfield
that Coutinho’s career really began to take off, with the Brazil international
quickly becoming a key figure for the Reds.
Coutinho eventually
left for Barca in January 2018 for a reported fee of £142m.
