Man Utd loanee Martial reveals he rejected Juventus, Barcelona for Sevilla

Manchester United loanee Anthony Martial has revealed he rejected Barcelona and Juventus last month.

The Frenchman instead signed for La Liga title challengers Sevilla on a season long loan.

"It's true. Juventus tried to sign me," he told Diario de Sevilla.

"I was talking to my agent and told him I preferred to go to Sevilla. It was the best option for me and my family. FC Barcelona talked to my agent.

"But as I said, I spoke with my agent and told him: 'My priority is Sevilla'.

"And when I say something to someone, I don't change it, I keep my word."
