Eintracht Frankfurt goalkeeper Kevin Trapp revealed that he rejected Manchester United after receiving a contract offer from the Red Devils.
The Germany international's claims have dispelled recent reports that it was United's decision to end their pursuit of the shot-stopper.
The 32-year-old had been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford following Man United No 1 David De Gea's tricky start to the campaign.
Red Devis manager Erik ten Hag is attempting to implement a new style in Manchester which revolves around the goalkeeper being able to play out from the back.
But De Gea's lack of confidence has been clear for all to see, with the shot-stopper at fault for a number of goals in the loss to Brentford this season.
And despite a more composed display in the Red Devils' victory over Liverpool this week, speculation of a new goalkeeper arriving at Old Trafford has been rife - thus the links to Trapp.
However, the Germany international has declared that he opted to turn down Manchester United's offer.
Speaking to BILD, Trapp said: 'In the past few days, much has been reported about Manchester United's interest. It is correct that there is a written offer.
'Manchester United is a world club. I hope everyone can understand that I am dealing with such an offer and thinking about it.'
He added: 'Yesterday I informed the responsible persons of both clubs that I had decided for Eintracht.
'I experienced sensational things here with Eintracht and we made history together. The start of the season was bumpy, but I have absolute confidence in us.'
Trapp was instrumental to Frankfurt clinching the Europa League trophy last season and performed heroics during the penalty-shootout victory in the final.
The 32-year-old is also more comfortable with the ball at his feet than De Gea, yet Ten Hag's side's search for a new goalkeeper will have to turn elsewhere.
De Gea also has less than 12 months remaining on his contract at Old Trafford, while Dean Henderson has been shipped out on loan to Nottingham Forest for the current campaign.

ETH and Manchester United made a flimsy decision by sending Dean Henderson on loan. It's a must for a good goalkeeper addition to Manchester United
