Mats Hummels has denied claims that he made a promise he would leave Borussia Dortmund for Manchester United.
The Germany international reportedly promised Sir Alex Ferguson back in 2012 that he would one day join the Red Devils and that apparent undertaking was heightened when he made comments this week stating he would be prepared to leave the Westfalenstadion.
However, World Cup winner Hummels took to Twitter on Tuesday to dismiss suggestions that he had ever made such a statement.
Um es klarzustellen: dieses vermeintliche "Versprechen" ist einfach nur frei erfunden...und das ist noch die freundliche Formulierung.

*Translation: To clarify it: this supposed "promise" is simply fictitious ... and that's the friendly formulation.
