AURELIEN Tchouameni has confessed his love for both Liverpool and Real Madrid – in a blow to Manchester United.
The highly sought-after Frenchman gave his take on both Champions League finalists before they faced off in France.
In what could be seen as a blow to Man United, they were not mentioned as the 22-year-old spoke publicly about his future.
The Monaco midfielder is being chased by the biggest teams in Europe after months of impressive performances.
And when asked about joining either Liverpool or Real Madrid ahead of the Champions League final, he told CNN: “I like both: I can watch Spanish games and English games.
“It’s different to play in Spain and it’s different to play in England, but at the end, for me, it’s just a matter of adaptation.

Tchouameni added that the speculation was being mentioned by his friends and teammates.
He said: “I tried to find a lot of players who came here young and then have grown, and they’d be able to play in a bigger club at the end of their journey here in Monaco.
“It’s funny. With my friends Benoit Badiashile and Djibril Sidibe, every morning they tell me: ‘Ah, you go to this club.’ And the next day, it’s another club.
“But it’s good to be in this situation. It means I’m in a good position. I’ve worked hard to achieve this, so that the best clubs want me.
