Adrien Rabiot has revealed that he rejected a move to Manchester United because the club are 'in a bit of a hole at the moment'.
The French midfielder was strongly linked with a transfer to United two summers ago with his contract at Juventus set to expire.
But he signed a contract extension and went on to win the Coppa Italia with the Turin outfit in his final season at the club.
United reignited their interest in the 30-year-old last summer, but he once again snubbed a move to Old Trafford.
Instead Rabiot moved to Marseille, where he scored nine goals and claimed four assists in his first season back in Ligue 1 to help Robert De Zerbi's side finish in second place and secure Champions League qualification for only the third time in 12 years.
