Manchester United are expected to hold talks with Celtic next month over the prospective £6.5million sale of Celtic left-back Emilio Izaguirre.
The Honduras international, 26, has been the subject of interest from Liverpool, Arsenal and Newcastle.
However, he said: 'I have to confirm it's 100 percent true that Manchester United were following me and were interested in me. It was Alex Ferguson directly who made contact with the Celtic directors.
'I am aware also that Manchester United and Celtic agreed for a meeting in July. We have to see what happens if I stay or I go.'
