The agent of Miguel Almiron says Manchester United were keen before his move to Newcastle United in 2019.

Almiron has been one of the best players in the Premier League so far this season and has proved doubters wrong after netting seven times in the first 13 games.

According to Almiron's agent Daniel Campos, there was also interest from league leaders Arsenal but the Paraguayan turned down the offer as the North London side only wanted it to be a loan move.

"Miguel Almiron is a footballer who went from less to more, now he is a more complete footballer," Campos told Paraguayan radio station ABC Cardinal.

"There was interest shown by Manchester United in Miguel Almiron but they never made an offer. Arsenal and Southampton offered loan deals for Miguel Almiron but we did not want it to be a loan."
