Bourssia Dortmund’s Mats Hummels insists rumours of
him making a promise to join Manchester United are ‘simply fictitious’.
The defender has been linked with a move to Old
Trafford since last summer, with speculation mounting ahead of the forthcoming
transfer window.
But despite the latest reports suggesting the
26-year-old has given Sir Alex Ferguson his word that he will one day play for
Man United, Hummels insists there is absolutely no truth in the rumours.
‘To clarify it: this supposed “promise” is simply
fictitious and that’s the friendly formation,’ he tweeted.
The German international may yet be keen on a move
to join Louis van Gaal’s side in the summer, especially given Borussia
Dortmund’s plight this term.
However, it looks as though any deal between club
and player still has to be agreed.
Um es klarzustellen: dieses vermeintliche "Versprechen" ist einfach nur frei erfunden…und das ist noch die freundliche Formulierung.
