Saul flattered by Man U interest

EARLIER in the summer, there were rumours that, apparently, United were running the rule over Atletico Madrid midfielder, Saul Niguez. The Spanish international has since committed his future to the rojiblancos and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has signed Donny van de Beek from Ajax, but that didn’t stop Saul from speaking about how he felt when he learned of United’s initial interest.

  “I am very flattered that a club like Manchester United or other teams that ask about me take me into consideration, for me it is very positive,” he said to MARCA and cited by the Daily Star.

  “And that strong people in those clubs speak well of you means that I am doing things well at Atletico Madrid.”

  Niguez has been a consistent performer in Diego Simeone’s hard-to-beat outfit, and has excelled in both an attacking and defensive sense.
