Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal says that moving to Manchester United never crossed his mind in the summer.
The Chilean star was rumoured to be top of new United boss Louis van Gaal's wishlist, with the manager admitting he was a fan of the 27-year-old.
However, no move materialised, with Vidal's persistent knee problems reportedly scuppering chances of United making a bid.
Despite such talk, Vidal insists he never asked to leave Juve and heard little from his agent over the matter.
"I was calm," Vidal told Tuttosport. "I just thought about my knee.
"Never once I asked my agent or to Juventus if something was going on.
"I have a pact with my agent, if there is something concrete it's up to him to let me know. And he never called.
"I don't know exactly what happened during the summer months, but I think nothing really important."
Vidal did however refuse to say whether he would have been tempted to move to the 20-time top flight champions, but is more than content with his current situation.
"If I would accept a proposal of Manchester United? I don't know. I really don't know," Vidal added.
"I can only say that I'm really well in Turin. I'm happy here and my family is happy; for me this is more important than money or any other thing.
"In Juventus I'm happy, this is my home and it is always difficult to leave home".
