Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Manchester United on Thursday, November 19.

A frustrating summer transfer window has now closed with Manchester United having missed out on a number of their top targets, including Jadon Sancho.

The Red Devils were busy on deadline day, though, bringing in Edinson Cavani, Alex Telles and Facundo Pellistri, in addition to agreeing a deal to sign Amad Traore in January. Attention will now switch to other business they may do when the window reopens in the winter.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings from Old Trafford.

Thursday morning's Manchester United transfer talk news roundup:


Manchester United 'yet to finalise Amad Diallo deal'

Manchester United have reportedly not yet finalised a deal for Amad Diallo despite announcing that they had reached an agreement to sign the Atalanta BC attacker over the summer.

The Red Devils revealed on transfer deadline day that they had agreed a move for the 18-year-old, but the switch to Old Trafford depended on Diallo finalising personal terms, passing a medical and receiving a work permit.

According to the Manchester Evening News, the 20-time English champions are still attempting to secure a work permit for the attacker, who was born in the Ivory Coast before moving to Italy at a young age.

Diallo has only made three first-team appearances for Atalanta, scoring his first goal for the Italian club against Udinese in October 2019.

The youngster has made the bench on six occasions during the 2020-21 campaign, although he is yet to feature for his current side this term.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team allegedly have 'high hopes' for Diallo, who largely operates as a right winger.



Manchester United 'made four bids for Jadon Sancho'

Manchester United reportedly made four offers for Jadon Sancho during the summer transfer window but were unable to come to an agreement with Borussia Dortmund over a transfer fee.

The England international was strongly linked with a move to Old Trafford over the summer, but the deadline passed with the attacker still at BVB, who are thought to value him in the region of £109m.

According to retired footballer Jan Aage Fjortoft, United failed with four separate bids for the former Manchester City youngster in the recent window.

Fjortoft, who was capped 71 times by Norway during his professional career, made the claim while speaking on Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano's Here We Go podcast.

Sancho is yet to score in six Bundesliga appearances during the 2020-21 campaign, but the 20-year-old has managed two goals and four assists in nine appearances in all competitions.

The attacker - also believed to be a target for Liverpool and Bayern Munich - still has two and a half years left to run on his contract with Lucien Favre's side.
