Manchester United were keen to sign Inter Milan defender Denzel Dumfries.
According to a report by filesthe 28-year-old international has decided to reject a move to the Premier League and will remain at the Italian club. Manchester United were not the only Premier League club keen on signing him and Newcastle United were also monitoring his situation.
The Dutch international full-back has decided to turn down the chance to move to Manchester United, and it will be interesting to see if the Red Devils decide to move on to other targets in the near future.
The Old Trafford side already have the likes of Diogo Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui at their disposal. Bringing in another right back would be a surprise decision. They should look to invest in a quality left back.
Man United need defensive additions
Manchester United must improve their defensive unit if they want to challenge for major trophies. They have looked vulnerable at the back at times and it remains to be seen if Erik ten Hag can bring in the right reinforcements and turn things around.
Manchester United have made a mediocre start to the season so far and will be desperate for months to bounce back strongly. They are expected to secure Champions League qualification this season and must improve their squad when the transfer window reopens in January.
Dumfries could have been a useful signing for Manchester United, but they are already well stocked in that department and so his decision to reject a move to Old Trafford is unlikely to affect the club too much.
Manchester United should look to focus on improving other areas of their squad now.
