Sergio Ramos has admitted that he was close to joining Manchester United last summer, when he was a key target for the Premier League side.

The Spanish defender eventually tied his future to Real Madrid for the long term and the club captain has confirmed his loyalty to the La Liga side. 

The 30-year-old told COPE, "There was an offer from United,

"I considered changing for a while but Real Madrid was always my priority and there were no economic reasons.

"Did I feel cheated [by Madrid]? No, but I did feel disappointed for a while. There were some troubles that came to an end." 

"I have not heard about [interest from Chelsea]. Many things have always been said. 

"Flattery from big clubs is always good as this is because you are doing well, but if the fans and my club want me."
