      Mundo Deportivo claims Dalot was offered up by Erik ten Hag as a bargaining chip for Barca’s unhappy midfielder.
      The Spanish giants are searching for a right-back after missing out on Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta.
      And United believed using Dalot as part of a deal for De Jong would see Barca lower their asking price of £63million.
      However, the LaLiga side rejected the exchange as Dalot is not on their radar for the new season.

      But even if he had been, the deal would have struggled to go through.
      That’s because Dalot has no intention of leaving Old Trafford.
      It’s reckoned the Portugal ace is settled in Manchester.
      Dalot is still confident of making a huge impact at the Theatre of Dreams, where he is currently ahead of Aaron Wan-Bissaka in the pecking order.

      Villarreal’s Juan Foyth, Borussia Dortmund’s Thomas Meunier and Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong have all been linked.

      Glazers have taken £1.1BILLION out of Man Utd and NO Premier League club has had worse investment in last decade

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED’S owners the Glazer family have taken an estimated £1.1billion out of the club since arriving in 2005.The Red Devils’ dreadful start to the Premier League season has further intensified the scrutiny being placed on their unpopular owners.

      Fans have protested against their ownersCredit: PA
      United fans staged a protest prior to their opener against Brighton – and figures revealed by the Swiss Ramble make it easy to understand supporters’ rage.
      They estimate that the Glazers have taken a staggering £1.1bn out of the club in the last 17 years.
      This figure includes an eye-watering £743m in interest payments on the money they borrowed to buy the club in the first place.
      Debt repayments make up another £147m, while owners have paid themselves dividends of £166m – including £133m in the last decade alone.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      Over the last ten years, United’s spend has not outweighed the money brought into the club in revenue even once.
      Directors have been remunerated £55m since the Glazers’ arrival, while £23m has also been taken out of the club in “management fees”.
      The £154m taken out of United by the Glazers in the last decade is more than any other Prem club.
      For context, Manchester City’s owners have invested £684m of their own money in the same time period.

      While Chelsea have ploughed in £516m and Aston Villa £506m.
      Casual observers could point to the £1.4bn spent on transfers by Man United in the last decade.
      But this is money that has been entirely generated by the club itself in revenue, rather than speculation by owners.
      United’s money that has been spent on transfers has been invested poorly – with the signings of Cristiano Ronaldo, Raphael Varane and Jadon Sancho contributing to a growth in their annual wage bill from £323m to £387m – without seeing an improvement in results.
      The Red Devils’ performance on the pitch has suffered immensely, going from title winners in 2013 to rock bottom of the table in August 2022.
      But even off the pitch, United have fallen behind their rivals due to a lack of investment in infrastructure.
      Read More on The Sun
      United’s net capital expenditure over the last decade comes to £136m – less than Fulham, Leicester, Liverpool and Manchester City.
      While Tottenham, having moved stadiums, have a net capital expenditure of £1.4bn in the last decade.

      According to club insider Jonathan Shrager, the Red Devils are looking to temporarily offload the winger once more and his agent Michael N’Cho is talking to various different suitors.
      The same source suggests the Ivory Coast international is being targeted by Blackpool, Sunderland, Anderlecht, Besiktas and Sampdoria.
      Sunderland and Blackpool need all the reinforcement they can have to help them gain promotion to the Premier League.
      Turkish champions Trabzonspor have also been linked with the 20-year-old ace.

      Reports from Greece add that Superleague champions Olympiacos are keen on Diallo as well.
      The Piraeus giants are looking to bolster their attack following a poor start to the season, which saw them being eliminated from the Champions League qualifiers by Maccabi Haifa.
      Olympiacos have already landed ex-Barcelona youngster Konrad de la Fuente on loan from Marseille.
      But new manager Carlos Corberan seems to want more additions and Diallo appears to be among his targets.

      He has since managed one goal and one assist in nine appearances with the senior team. More
