Wolves striker Raul Jimenez has confirmed Manchester United came in for his services during the summer transfer window.
The Mexico international has been linked with a move to Old Trafford for some time, after becoming an immediate hit in English football following his switch from Benfica.
Rumours began to grow at a rapid pace several months ago when it emerged Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was in the market for more firepower, and Jimenez became frequently linked with the Red Devils.
As the days ticked by in the transfer window it appeared that no move was to materialise, with United ultimately resorting to a deadline day move for free agent Edinson Cavani.
