Monaco midfielder Olivier Kapo claims he was on the verge of signing for United in the January transfer window.
Kapo, primarily a winger, is currently on loan from Juventus. But the Ivory Coast-born French international has reportedly fallen out with Monaco coach Francesco Guidolin.
Sir Alex was looking to bring in another midfielder to bolster his depleted ranks.
"The most serious trail was Manchester United. It was almost settled," Kapo told L'Equipe TV. "I had my plane tickets to have the medical examinations on January 30 and sign the next day.
"But, for darker reasons that happened behind my back, it was not settled," he added.
United could have had a player going in the opposite direction across the English Channel, with Mikael Silvestre claiming he turned down a late move to French club Olympique Lyonnais.
"I had an opportunity to go to Lyon which I refused," Silvestre told MUTV. "I spoke to Gerard Houllier (Lyon manager) but I am cup-tied for the Champions League and we both know he is not going to play one person in the league and one in Europe.
"I wasn't going to have much opportunity, so I knew it wasn't a good move."

카포가 맨유와 사인직전까지 갔고, 30일 메디컬 테스트를 받으러 갈 비행기 티켓까지 준비했었지만 뒤에서의 어두운 이유들 때문에 성사되지 않았다네요, 그리고 실베스트레가 리옹으로 갈 기회가 있었지만 거절했다는 이야기 (챔피언스리그에 출전을 못 하는 것 때문에 가지 않았다네요)
첫댓글 오호! 어두운 이유가 뭘까?
뒷돈?
퍼거슨경도 fm을 하셨남 =_=?
메디칼 테스트 결과 카포의 등에 문제가 있어서 계약이 취소 되었다네요.
휴 다행이다 ㅋㅋ 카포 왓으면 큰일날뻔했눼 ㅋㅋ안 그래도 윙자원 4명이나있고만 ~~
back이 '어두운'이 아니라 '등'인듯 하네요.....카포 왔으면 박지성 영원히 벤치 신세 질 뻔했네요-_-;
아.. dark reasons behind my back 이라고 하기에 저는 배후의 어두운 이유.. 로 해석했었는데.. 등의 어두운이었군요. back 이 '배후' 가 아니라 단어 그대로의 '등' 이었나 봅니다.
박지성을 뭘로 보시고 -0-
아니죠.. 박지성도 잘하는데..
