Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag, snubbed the opportunity to sign Georginio Wijnadlum on loan from Paris Saint-Germain.
Wijnaldum has now moved to Roma, where he will spend the rest of this season.
However, according to Sky Sports, the former Liverpool midfielder was keen to move to United.
Instead, Ten Hag is pushing the club to get Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot.
United have done their best to sign the players Ten Hag wants – such as Lisandro Martinez, Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen, Frenkie de Jong, Antony, Marko Arnautovic and Adrien Rabiot.
The Red Devils are looking to bounce back from a 2-1 defeat to Brighton in their Premier League opener last Sunday.
