composer cannot install knp menu bundle in symfony 3.4

I tried to install the knp-menu-bundle in Symfony 3.4 but I got the following error:

$ composer require knplabs/knp-menu-bundle dev-master

[InvalidArgumentException]

Package knplabs/knp-menu-bundle at version dev-master has a PHP requirement incompatible with your PHP version (5.5.9)

It's odd because my PHP version is 7.1 and not 5.5.9.

Updating my post to show my composer.json.

Try just without dev-master below composer require knplabs/knp-menu-bundle "^2.0" OR change:

 "require": {
        "php": ">=7.0",
