£17m Man Utd bid rejected

Juventus have rejected a bid from Man Utd for David Trezeguet.

The striker had been a big target for Man Utd boss Sir Alex Ferguson since the exit of Ruud van Nistelrooy and Juventus' relegation to Serie B.

However, despite Fergie's big bid, it wasn't enought to attract Trezeguet away from the club as sporting director Alessio Secco reveals that Trezeguet has decided to stay.

"Trezeguet will remain at Juve. David has an agreement with us and he has decided to stay," said Secco.

"Our relationship has been well defined and he's happy to play with us. But I go forward: even if he became unhappy, he will remain with us.

"I've read Trezeguet would have refused to go to Neaples for the Coppa Italia match, but that's false.

"After the match with Cesena he had intoxicated muscles and he couldn't play. That's the reason we left him at home."
