Richarlison confirms January offer to join Manchester United
[ad_1]
– Man United wanted Richarlison in January to replace Marcus Rashford who had picked a back injury
– The Manchester club further tabled offers for Joshua King and Erling Halaand before landing Ighalo
– Richarlison was also a major target for Jose Mourinho during the Portuguese’s spell at Old Trafford
– He has scored 10 goals for Everton this season and set up three others
Everton forward Richarlison has confirmed an offer from Man United to complete a switch to Old Trafford.
United were unsuccessful in their bid to sign the striker back in January after the Brazilian rejected a transfer away mid-season.
At the time, the Red Devils were desperate to land a replacement for Marcus Rashford who had picked a back injury.
The side went on to table offers for Selling Halaand and Joshua King before gambling on Odion Ighalo who arrived on loan from Shanghai Shenhua.
Richarlison has now come out to admit there was indeed an offer from United and Barcelona to sign him.

“There were lots of offers during the season, from Barcelona and from Manchester United,” Richarlison told Desimpedidos.
“But the club opted to keep me in the group and I didn’t want to leave in the middle of the season. It’s bad to leave team-mates like this,” he added.
The 23-year-old was a major target for Jose Mourinho during the Portuguese’s stint at United but a move never materialised.
Richarlison joined the Toffees back in 2018 from Watford in a deal valued at around £50 million.
He has since established himself as one of the most lethal strikers in the Premier League, thereby earning 19 caps for the Brazil national team.
