Fran Villalba has opted to snub a move to Manchester United in favour of a new and improved deal with Valencia that will keep him at the club for four more seasons.
The promising midfielder s agent revealed earlier this month that United had made initial contact to discuss a potential transfer, but a move to Old Trafford is no longer on the cards following Villalba s decision to sign a renewal.
Very satisfied to have renewed for four years with the club of my life, the 18-year-old Villalba wrote on Twitter.
I will keep working to play my part for this great club.
Muy contento por renovar 4 años más con el equipo de mi vida.
Toca trabajar para aportar mi granito de arena a este gran club.

Villalba came through the ranks of the Valencia youth academy and made his official first-team debut under Gary Neville in December 2015, going on to make a further three appearances for the senior side.
