Philipp Lahm has told Squawka he rejected a move to Manchester United to stay at Bayern Munich.

Lahm, 31, said he was wanted at both Old Trafford and Barcelona but has no regrets about remaining in his homeland.

Lahm said: "As a player, you always think about your options and there was a time when Manchester United made an approach for me -- and Barcelona looked at me -- so I considered life in England or Spain.

"The Premier League was an interesting possibility but in the end I decided to stay in Germany.

"Bayern is my home-town club and I thought good things could happen for the club, so I signed on for more years, and it proved to be the right decision.

"I felt we had the chance to win the Champions League, and I was was right. I'd rather win it with my club, my home-town team, than with any other.

"So England might have been nice -- but I am glad I stayed in Germany."
