'I decided to stay in Germany because I like it here, the level of the games, the fans, the stadiums' - Dayot Upamecano reveals reason he snubbed Man U

Bayern Munich have began their preparation ahead ofy he next season following their signing of RB Leipzig defender, Dayot Upamecano. 

Recall that in January, the Bavarians completed the transfer of the French defender for a long term deal. 

It's been gathered that Upamecano snubbed likes of Manchester United, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Barcelona and others to remain in Germany. 

Meanwhile the defender has finally opened on the reason behind his decision to remain in Germany. 

'I was sure relatively quickly that I wanted to stay in Germany and in the Bundesliga,' Upamecano told Sport Buzzer.

'I like it here, the level of the games, the fans, the stadiums.

'When FC Bayern gets in touch, you are really proud. It doesn't get much higher, especially when you've played in Leipzig before.'

Dayot Upamecano will also link up with his manager Julian Nagelsmann who has put pen to paper with Bayern Munich.

Nagelsmann will leave his position as manager of RB Leipzig in the summer to become Bayern new coach after Hansi Flick agreed to cancel his contract with th Bavarians to take up the job as Germany national team manager.

'He's a great trainer,' Upamecano added on Nagelsmann.

We're not thinking about the next season now, we're all thinking about this one,' he added.

'And we want to win the cup against Dortmund and top our best performance from the 2016/2017 season.'
