Leicester City midfielder Esteban Cambiasso has hinted he came close to joining Manchester United earlier in his career.
The summer arrival, a free transfer after he left Inter Milan, has won La Liga, the Champions League and five Serie A titles.
He said: "Were there any opportunities to come to England earlier in my career? Yes, but when you stay for so long at a good club it is difficult to change.
"Were Manchester United ever interested? It's the past now. It is not important now."
