Manchester United have been dealt a major blow in their quest to sign Italian defender, Leonardo Bonucci, as the former Juventus man have declared that he is happy to remain in Milan
Bonucci has been one of Europe’s best defender over the past few seasons and helped Juventus win the Serie A for 6 consecutive seasons before moving to Milan last summer. Milan’s failure to qualify for next season’s Champions League may force them to sell after they spent about £200 million in transfers last summer.
Bonucci is one of the most valuable players and several teams are looking to prise him away, however, the club captain has insisted that he is happy in Milan.
“There is no problem whatsoever (at Milan). I hope these rumours will be put to bed so we can build something important.
“We’re aiming to return to the Champions League and to compete for big objectives.”
Marcos Rojo, Victor Lindelof, Eric Bailey among others have been signed by Manchester United over the past couple of seasons, but they have all failed to make the grade, forcing the club to rely on Phil Jones and Chris Smalling who were all signed by Sir Alex Ferguson.
