Sergio Ramos rejected last-ditch transfer offer from desperate Man Utd who were fuming with Real Madrid icon’s response
SERGIO RAMOS snubbed Manchester United before sealing a return to Sevilla.
The Spanish defender, 37, left Paris Saint-Germain at the end of last season after a difficult two years in the French capital.
During the summer, he received a number of offers including a reported £17.1million-a-year proposal from Saudi Arabian side Al-Ittihad.
And SunSport can now exclusively reveal he was also approached by Man Utd - who tabled a bid that was instantly rejected by the Real Madrid legend.
Following Raphael Varane's injury last month, the Red Devils made a late play to sign Ramos as the transfer window prepared to shut.
But United were slow to detail the terms of the offer - before they eventually proposed a one-year, £73,000-a-week contract.

This was immediately declined by the World Cup winner.
Man Utd were said to be upset that he turned their offer down so swiftly.
And now he has secured a return to Sevilla - who brought him through their academy 20 years ago.
Ramos spent three seasons in Sevilla's first team between 2003 and 2006, playing 50 games.

He then went on to enjoy a 16-year stint with Real Madrid where he won four Champions Leagues and five LaLiga titles.
Meanwhile, Man Utd brought Johnny Evans back to Old Trafford on deadline day.
Both he and Harry Maguire came off the bench in Sunday's 3-1 defeat to Arsenal after Victor Lindelof started the game alongside Lisandro Martinez.
