Former Manchester United goalkeeper coach Emilio Alvarez admits turning down offers from PSG and Real Madrid.

Alvarez has admitted he's fallen out with United keeper David de Gea and says while still with United he had offers to leave.

He told AS: "It's true. PSG and Madrid called me but I stayed with United so as not to leave De Gea. For me, that's loyalty.

"Between the right decision and the convenient one for me, I chose the right one and to be loyal. Today, my conscience is clear. I could have more money, I value being happy in myself much more than that.

"To this day, United fans show their love for me online and sometimes write to me saying De Gea isn't the same since I left the club. I'm a football man and I don't hold resentment. I keep the good times we shared, including the four titles we won together."
