Manchester United star addresses reported summer interest from Real Betis – 'I haven't heard it'

Nabil Fekir's late move to Al-Jazira Club over the summer has left Real Betis desperate to sign at least one new midfielder. They orchestrated the return of Giovani Lo Celso from Tottenham Hotspur, although a more defensive option was also wanted by coach Manuel Pellegrini.

Dani Ceballos was heavily linked, but Real Madrid put a price out of Betis' reach. According to MarcoManchester United's Christian Eriksen was also a player who was wanted, although he has now revealed that he turned down any opportunity to leave Old Trafford during the summer transfer window.

“I feel very good at United. If they told me to leave then I would have left, but I didn't listen.

Eriksen would have been a solid addition the Betis squad, and the need for someone like him has only increased with William Carvalho's recent Achilles tear. Unfortunately for Los Verdiblancos, a move for him – or any other pivot – did not materialize during the dying stages of the summer.
