Celtic left back Emilio Izaguirre has claimed that Manchester United were interested in signing him in the January winter transfer window. Izaguirre made the claim in his native Honduras and added that United and Celtic were also likely to meet up later next month in order to decide his future.
However Celtic coach Neil Lennon has denied any approach for Izaguirre or Israeli midfielder Beram Kayal, the two most in demand Hoops players at this moment. He also added that while every player had his price, Izaguirre was not for sale.
Izaguirre was one of Celtic’s standout players last season following his switch from Motagua and was also recently linked with a move to Liverpool FC, United’s great Premier League rivals.
