Manchester United reportedly turned down the chance to secure the services of former Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey earlier this summer in a deal that would have seen Nemanja Matic making a move to the opposite side.https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?client=ca-pub-1242771826122302&output=html&h=345&slotname=3098894374&adk=95518916&adf=280015689&pi=t.ma~as.3098894374&w=414&lmt=1629875330&rafmt=1&psa=1&format=414×345&url=https%3A%2F%2Fligafinancial.de%2Fman-utd-refused-to-agree-swap-deal-with-juventus-involving-nemanja-matic%2F&flash=0&fwr=1&fwrattr=true&rpe=1&resp_fmts=3&sfro=1&wgl=1&dt=1629875330673&bpp=3&bdt=475&idt=77&shv=r20210819&mjsv=m202108240101&ptt=9&saldr=aa&abxe=1&cookie=ID%3D97d5f693bcf80c56-22dad561adc900dc%3AT%3D1629353380%3ART%3D1629353380%3AS%3DALNI_MY8V1qfPVz7H1mOZSk6x-G40HjHCg&prev_fmts=0x0%2C414x345&nras=1&correlator=4926730722733&frm=20&pv=1&ga_vid=1385001699.1626123781&ga_sid=1629875331&ga_hid=1561903233&ga_fc=0&u_tz=300&u_his=3&u_java=0&u_h=896&u_w=414&u_ah=896&u_aw=414&u_cd=32&u_nplug=0&u_nmime=0&adx=0&ady=776&biw=414&bih=719&scr_x=0&scr_y=0&eid=42530672%2C31062297&oid=3&pvsid=3971607470407376&pem=13&ref=https%3A%2F%2Fligafinancial.de%2Fcategory%2Fpremier-league%2Fmanchester-united%2F&eae=0&fc=1920&brdim=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C414%2C0%2C414%2C896%2C414%2C719&vis=1&rsz=%7C%7CleEbr%7C&abl=CS&pfx=0&fu=128&bc=31&ifi=3&uci=a!3&btvi=1&fsb=1&xpc=aocxJN9HGv&p=https%3A//ligafinancial.de&dtd=87
Walse international midfielder’s future in Turin remains up in the air, with the Welshman believed to be available for transfer in the current window.
Matic, meanwhile, still has two years left before his contract expires at Old Trafford, however, the 33-year-old is down the pecking order when it comes to starting the squad in the Man United midfield.
According to journalist Duncan Castles, the Red Devils were offered the opportunity to secure the services of Aaron Ramsey with Matic moving the other way, however, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer turned down the proposal.
“Juventus have during the summer proposed a swap deal for Nemanja Matic which would have seen Aaron Ramsey going the other way for United. It was rejected by the Manchester club,” Castles told The Transfer Window podcast.
Ramsey previously played in the English top-tier for Man Utd’s bitter rivals, Arsenal between 2008 and 2019, making 369 appearances for the North London giants before signing for Juventus on a free transfer.
