Man Utd rejected Mudryk before Chelsea move

Manchester United rejected Mykhaylo Mudryk at the beginning of the January market.

The Ukraine international recently joined Chelsea in a deal that could reach as high as £89million. And he impressed on his debut off the bench in a 0-0 draw with Liverpool on Sunday.

Mudryk was barely linked with a move to United prior to joining Chelsea.

The Mirror says that's because the Red Devils actually declined the chance to swoop for the Ukrainian.

It's said that, before Chelsea and Arsenal made their interest in the 22-year-old known, United were given the chance to sign Mudryk from Shakhtar Donetsk.

However, they turned down a deal and appear to be content with their current wingers at present.
