Manchester United failed in an 11th hour bid to steal David Villa from under the noses of Barcelona.
The Spanish striker, who has just completed a £35million move to the Catalan giants, was being tracked by Sir Alex Ferguson, and Valencia have now confirmed that an English club made a last ditch attempt to sign the 28-year-old.
“We had a significant offer from England that was not Chelsea,” said Valencia president Manuel Llorente.
“But Barcelona was best for us and the player. Villa has given us a lot and he deserves this move, especially if you consider that he wanted to stay in Spain.”
