Revealed: How Man Utd tried to tempt Marquinhos away from Psg

Manchester United did everything they could to sign Marquinhos, according to Telefoot. 
 
The Brazilian recently signed a new deal with PSG, but he was the subject of a huge €60 million offer from Jose Mourinho. 
 
The Portuguese Coach had made Marquinhos a priority target, despite signing Viktor Lindelof from Benfica. 
 
Manchester United have been working hard to beef up their back line, in a quest to return to Premier League glory, having not won a title since the days of Sir Alex Ferguson. 
 
The defender, formerly of Roma, had also been linked to Barcelona, with his previous deal set to run out next summer. 
 
Instead, the Selecao international chose to sign a new deal with the Parisians, one that will keep him at the Parc des Princes until 2022. 
 
Marquinhos has established a strong central partnership with Thiago Motta, starring alongside the Brazilian as PSG have won five straight Ligue 1 titles.
