Adrien Rabiot Rejects Manchester United Twice Citing Club Instability

Adrien Rabiot revealed that he twice rejected offers to join Manchester United due to concerns over the club's current struggles and uncertain prospects. The French midfielder, who was heavily linked with a move during his final contract years at Juventus, acknowledged that although there were serious talks and written offers, he doubted whether United could achieve great success given their difficulties both on and off the pitch. Instead, Rabiot extended his contract at Juventus before eventually transferring to Marseille on a free transfer, where he had a standout season contributing nine goals and multiple assists to help the club secure second place and Champions League qualification. Despite his hesitancy about joining United, Rabiot expressed admiration for the Premier League's competitive nature and spectacle. He also noted no regrets about choosing Marseille, where he has quickly become an influential player. Manchester United recently endured a historic low finish in the Premier League and will not participate in European competition next season, factors that influenced Rabiot's decision.
