Manchester United were tipped off about Joachim Andersen in 2017 by fitness coach at the time Stefano Rapetti, according to reports. The Denmark international has been linked with a move to both the Red Devils and Tottenham since the transfer window reopened. The Denmark international was a shining light amid a difficult campaign for the Cottagers, making 29 appearances in the top flight as they succumbed to relegation. And the Manchester Evening News say that, back in 2017, United received a tip-off about the player. Jose Mourinho was manager at the time and fitness coach Rapetti, who has since left Old Trafford, gave the Portuguese a glowing endorsement of the player.
