'I didn't want to make a MISTAKE': Man United summer target Jean-Clair Todibo reveals his thinking behind sticking with Nice, despite contact being made about £34m transfer to replace Harry Maguire

Manchester United summer target Jean-Clair Todibo has admitted that he didn't want to join Erik ten Hag's side because he 'didn't want to make a mistake.'

The Nice defender also stated that he felt he had 'guarantees' at his current club and didn't want to step into the 'unknown' when pressed on the reports linking him to United.

Mail Sport reported back in August that the Red Devils were seeing him as centre-back cover, with Harry Maguire almost departing the club for West Ham.

The England centre-half ultimately stayed at the club, despite David Moyes' side tabling bids of around £30million.
