Fulham star Jaoa Palhinha was apparently interested in a move to Manchester United, should the opportunity have arisen while the transfer window was open.
The Brazilian was on the cusp of signing for Bayern Munich in a £40million deal on deadline day having taken a flight over to Germany only to return after the transfer broke down.
The 28-year-old has been a standout player for Fulham since his 2022 arrival. The Athletic says Erik ten Hag is one of those who has been impressed with Palhinha’s displays, particularly those against United last season.
However, the Dutchman had his sights set on Sofyan Amrabat, a cheaper option amid his €10m loan. United have the option of buying Amrabat for €20m plus €5m in add-ons next summer.
