Man United transfers which failed ft Sancho transfer

While multiple Man United transfers were announced on deadline day, the club failed to agree deals for several other rumoured targets as well. One of the biggest was the Dembele transfer, with the winger being heavily linked to Manchester United in the last few days. However, the transfer failed to go through after the two clubs disagreed on the mode of the transfer.

While Manchester United wanted a loan deal, Barcelona were looking to offload the winger permanently. The deal for Jadon Sancho, another high profile target for the club wasn’t competed as well, with the Red Devils unwilling to match Borussia Dortmund’s asking price.
