Thierry Henry was on the brink of a sensational move to Manchester United - just two weeks ago.
The former Arsenal star thought he was Old Trafford-bound in a £10 million deal - until Barcelona's new boss Pep Guardiola blocked the move.
A source close to the deal said: "Thierry was told by the new coach he didn't want him to leave, that he was going to be a big player for Barca next season and would have an important role to play for them.
"That was the reassurance Thierry needed but United were ready to buy him."
Henry has been unsettled in his debut season at Barcelona following his £16million move from Arsenal a year ago.
