How Man Utd rejected Spain's latest star
The 25-year-old, however, is one of the Merengues regular starters now with Gareth Bale warming the bench of the Spain and Europe champions instead.
Isco signed a contract extension with Real Madrid this past August. The Spaniard’s new deal is set to expire in 2021 and the La Liga giants decided to add a shock release clause in his contract: 700 million.
Juventus and Manchester United were particularly interested in signing the player in the past and the Red Devils even refused to sign the 25-year-old after receiving a scouting report that stated that “He [Isco] is good, but not quite quick enough and his head is too big for his body”. Yesterday night Isco proved Manchester United scours wrong and it was not the first time.
