Inter left-back Yuto Nagatomo has revealed he turned down the chance to join Manchester United last month.
The Japan international was linked with a move to Old Trafford in January, with Louis van Gaal struggling with a lack of full-backs due to long-term injuries to Luke Shaw, Antonio Valencia and Ashley Young.
"I like everything about Inter, I want to stay here and renew my contract," Nagatomo told Inter's TV channel.
"I turned down an offer from Manchester United, as my desire is to stay here. I have an excellent rapport with Roberto Mancini."
He added: "I love Italy. I've been here for five years now and I feel at home."
"Hopefully, when I finish my career, I can stay in Italy.
"This season is my best spell at Inter. We have a great group here and I get on well with everyone."
