Izaguirre claims United interest

The Celtic player, who plays internationally for Honduras, plays at left back.

“Regarding possibilities, I prefer to stay silent as I did when Celtic signed me. This is a job of my agent,” he said.

“I have to confirm it’s 100% true that Manchester United were following me and were interested in me. It was Alex Ferguson directly who made contact with the Celtic directors.

“I am aware also that Manchester United and Celtic agreed for a meeting in July. We have to see what happens if I stay or I go.

“If I have the chance I welcome the move with open arms. If that is the case I will thank God and I will take my opportunity.”
