Juventus midfielder Pjanic rejects Man Utd for Barcelona

Juventus midfielder Miralem Pjanic has rejected the chance to move to Manchester United.

United have been linked with Pjanic as manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looks to boost his engine room this summer - with the suggestion having been mooted that 30-year-old could have been involved in a swap deal for Paul Pogba.

Sport says Pjanic's form has attracted the attention of some of Europe's top clubs - but he has refused to join either United or Paris-Saint Germain after receiving an offer from Barcelona.

The Catalan giants now have a verbal agreement with Pjanic, and have offered a number of players as part of a swap deal in order to secure the midfielder's services.
