Athletic Bilbao forward Inaki Williams claims Manchester United were in contact with him this summer over a potential transfer to the club.
Reports in Spain claimed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had considered signing the 25-year-old as a replacement for Romelu Lukaku who left for Inter Milan in the summer transfer window.
Williams decided against a move and went on to sign a nine-year deal with the Spanish side but has now confirmed he was in touch with somebody from Old Trafford.
"I had contact from Manchester United but I cannot tell you who it was,” Williams told Spanish radio outlet Cadena Ser.
“My number one option has always been to stay at Athletic Club and to retire here. Joining Real Sociedad? No, I could never go there. 100%.”

Man utd needs to break the bank next summer. It's time our lovely bounce back to the days not long ago wen we always sing "glory glory and united......" and we can only do dat by adding quality players to the few we have now. To do this united needs to spend close to £270m to achieve this goal and we have the money so the board shd do just so. And these are the players to me if they join the squad, will make us champion's again. 1. Paco alcacer - he is 26years now and have a current market value of 37m so united shd try and sign him even if he cost us 50m cos we can't rely on rashford and martial cos they aren't natural number 9. He addition will surely boost our striking department cos he is a goal poacher 2. Jadon Sancho - he is 19years old, have current market value of 100m so utd shd be prepared to sign at close to 140m. With him being on the ryt flanks and Daniel James of the left, the team will be a force to reckon on and our opponents will will always have an issue at hand 3. Christian erikson - is a he is 27 years and his current contract ends on 30th June 2020. So united shd start negotiation with him ryt now and sign him for free b4 the likes of real madrid and juventus try to sign him. With him partnering pogba, our midfield will be one of the best in the EPL and Europe in general 4. Sergej milinkovic savic - this 24 year old has been on our radar for way too long and has a current market value of 65m. So we can get him for as huge as 80m of which I believe is justifiable. He can play all positions in the midfield being defensive or attacking. So with him playing defensively and pogba and eriksen in the de attacking midfield, our midfield will be heated. We will have PES(pogba, eriksen, savic), wow.... 5. Bruno Fernandez - less I say about this guy, the better but united shd sign him, market value only 55m,........ So In all spending over 250m is Wat is needed to bring the good old days back, I hope the board stop being reluctant and get these guys at all cost. Madrid spent more than 300m this summer yet plans to spend more next summer cos they feel they aren't where they want to be so utd shd man up and do similar. Moreover an advice to united board,stop signing players that are so close to joining man city cos they always flop at united cos city style of play and our own are different and a classical example is Sanchez and Fred. United will rise again #GGMU #UNITED FOR EVER #UNITED TILL I DIE, WIN, LOSE OR DRAW #BORN RED, LIVE RED, DIE RED

I agree with u 10000%,i was very happy wen some few days back I read an article dat the prince of UAE and wants to buy the club, I just hope it happens
Yup. We Are Going Nowhere.., Heading To Doomsday As Long As Glazers And Woodclown Are Around. (Prince Of UAE?! Sorry If I Got It Wrong.., I Thought It's Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince~ Mohammad Bin Salman That Are Interested In Buying Over Us). Nevertheless.., I Hope Too That Someone Comes To Our Rescue Sooner Than Later. Just See What Our Neighbour Next Door Had Achieved Under Sheikh Mansour Of Abu Dhabi.
