Arnau Puigmal has announced he’s leaving Manchester United.

Almeria are favourites to land him and he posted to social media: “Four years ago I decided to leave everything behind and sign for Manchester United.

“I took that plane to follow my dream of becoming a professional football player. And I would definitely go through it all over again.
