Thomas Meunier discusses future after Arsenal and Man Utd transfer links

Thomas Meunier has refused to rule out a January transfer amid uncertainty over his PSG future.

The defender is out of contract next summer and has been linked to Manchester United and Arsenal .

Meunier remained at Le Parc des Princes despite speculation over his future, and admits he could extend his stay at the club.

He told RTBF : “It was an intense period, with a lot of interest and discussion.

“I could have left but it was not done because there was nothing that suited the club or myself. Nothing was 100 per cent for it to work.

“I have always said that I wanted to stay in Paris. I still have one year on my contract and I still hope an extension can be secured.

“The situation is a little more complicated because I am no longer the preferred choice in my position, but I remain professional.

“I feel good there and we will see what happens during the season.”

Meunier is battling Colin Dagba and Thilo Kehrer for the right-back berth following the departure of Dani Alves.

He added: “I have already spoken with the coach.

“We are aware that this year will be complicated. But I have always thought that leaving in the middle of the year is a bad idea because I think that the clubs which do business in January are clubs that, for me, act in haste.

“I have the impression when transfers are done in January that they are not thought out but rather a question of necessity.

“So for me a transfer in January is a no, even if I spend the first few months on the bench.”
