Manchester United spoke with Lionel Messi a couple of years ago and even offered him a contract, according to reports.
The Sun claimed that Messi’s representatives had put the feelers out to United in 2021 over a possible move to Old Trafford.
Messi’s time at Barcelona was coming to a dramatic end and the Red Devils are also said to have submitted a contract proposal to the superstar.
Messi could again be a free agent this summer, with his contract set to expire at Paris Saint-Germain.
United could be set for a takeover in the coming months and Messi may be a statement signing the new owners would look to make.
