Man Utd to miss out on two other targets, including Joao Palhinha

United, meanwhile, are reportedly set to miss out on two other targets this summer amid new developments.

Firstly, the Red Devils have been touted as would-be suitors for Joao Palhinha following claims Fulham have rejected an opening offer worth €35m from Bayern Munich.

And having told the Bundesliga giants they value the Portugal star at double that figure, it had been suggested that United were ready to hijack the move for themselves.

However, Fabrizio Romano has quickly moved to deny such a move could happen, telling his Daily Briefing column: “I wanted to clarify something on Joao Palhinha because yesterday we had some reports in England about interest from Manchester United and Barcelona. However, at the moment, Man Utd are still waiting to resolve the manager situation before attacking any position for the market.

“Of course, United are still keeping an eye on the market, but they will not advance in any negotiations until they know who is going to be their coach. So at the moment Palhinha is not negotiating with Manchester United, we’ll have to wait and see what happens there with Erik ten Hag, or if they decide to go for a replacement.
