# Manchester United: Red Devils fans slam Emre Can’s comments

**Former Liverpool midfielder Emre Can recently revealed he rejected a move to Old Trafford in January due to his Merseyside affiliations.**

[Can told German outlet Kicker](https://www.kicker.de/771722/artikel/can_ich_hatte_allein_drei_angebote_aus_der_premier_league_) “I had three offers from the Premier League alone, including from Manchester United, but I didn’t think about that for a second because of my Liverpool past.”

The German international enjoyed a four-year spell at Anfield, scoring 14 goals and registering 12 assists in 167 appearances in all competitions for the Reds, before joining Serie A giants Juventus in 2018. His market value stands at £27m via [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/emre-can/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/119296).

Can made 45 appearances for the Italian side but only provided 4 goals and just 1 assist and struggled to nail down a place in the first team under former Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri. After failing to make the Old Lady’s Champions League squad, the 26-year-old switched to Bundesliga challengers Borussia Dortmund in a loan move for the rest of the season ([Goal](https://www.goal.com/en/news/can-reveals-man-utd-offer-before-dortmund-move-and-explains/xdm1dxz8lrw010razzz21ianp)).

In comparison United’s January transfer signing Bruno Fernandes has made an instant impact since moving to Old Trafford, notching 2 goals and 3 assists in 5 games in the Premier League so far, [earning himself the PFA Player of the Month for February](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league/manchester-united/manchester-united-red-devils-fans-react-to-bruno-fernandes-winning-pfa-player-of-the-month/) in the process.

> He probably did seen as we were absolutely shambolic, linked with anyone and everyone. Saying that, not bothered at the slightest with him, decent player but in a way glad he didn’t come
