Minamino never interested United

The 24-year-old's arrival at Anfield Road is imminent, although nothing has been made official and in England there is a lot of talk about whether Liverpool were the only suitors that he had. Of course, the main interest, as Salzburg confirmed, were from Liverpool.

According to the Mancunian newspaper, 'Manchester Evening News', United were never interested in signing him, which is opposite to what has been specualted in the last few days around Old Trafford. 

Minamino's termination clause at Salzburg is 8.5 million euros. Not very much in a League with such great purchasing power as the English. Especially when it comes to a club with Liverpool's potential.

Be that as it may, Minamino's is yet another chapter in the long history of encounters and disagreements between Manchester United and Liverpool when a great player is on the horizon. After all, these are the two teams that have the greatest rivalry in English football.
