Manchester United made a last-ditch effort in the January transfer window to sign Juventus‘ Brazilian midfielder Douglas Luiz. But failed to make it.

Italian outlet Tuttosport reports that Manchester United made a surprise loan offer for Luiz in the final hours. Before the winter transfer window closed at 11pm on Monday, February 3. But Juventus rejected it.สมัคร UFABET

Although Juventus were prepared to let Luiz go on loan with an option to buy during this transfer window. Manchester United made an offer at the same time as they sold Italian midfielder Nicolo Fagioli to Fiorentina. Forcing the Bianconeri to reject the move.

Juventus are looking to lose just one midfielder and have already decided on Fagioli. So Luiz will likely remain at the Allianz Stadium until the summer transfer window to decide his future.

Luiz had previously been linked with a move to former club Manchester City. But no talks took place as Pep Guardiola’s side splashed the cash on Porto’s Nico Gonzalez on deadline day.

Man Utd’s next match is against Leicester City, who are now managed by Red Devils legend Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Van Nistelrooy took charge of four Man Utd games between Erik ten Hag’s sacking and Amorim’s appointment. Defeating Leicester before going on to replace Steve Cooper as their head coach.
