Barcelona defender Jean-Clair Todibo has recalled being rejected by Manchester United after trials.
Todibo, 20, is seen as one of Europe’s most exciting defenders breaking through to the elite level.
A trial was offered to the then-teenager several years ago, which he feels went very well.
“It was crazy, I went from Les Lilas to United,” Todibo told Onze Mondial.
“It was a dream that was coming true when I hadn’t done anything, really. It was just a trial. Everything went well, but I wasn’t taken.”
The youngster went on to outline that United ultimately did not fancy his services, and was turned down with minimal feedback.
“I don’t know why my trial didn’t lead to anything. I still haven’t received an explanation to this day.”
