In a bid to bolster the attack, the Old Trafford owner was reportedly diverted to leicester’s 35-year-old striker Jamie Vardy.
Man Utd have only scored once in their opening two Premier League games, and it came from Brighton midfielder Alexis Mac Allister’s counter-kick in the opening game against Brighton.
So they will focus on beefing up their offensive line before the transfer window closes on 9/1.
According to British media, after abandoning the Marko Arnautovic deal because of the reaction of fans, the Old Trafford owner decided to switch the hunt for Vardy.
