According to ESPN, Manchester United have ruled out any move for Tottenham midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg before the window closes.
The Red Devils are reportedly in the market for another midfielder and have been linked with several stars including Sofyan Amrabat and Hojbjerg. But while Spurs are prepared to let the Danish international leave, interest in him has been sparse.
ESPN has revealed that United’s focus right now is split between signing a new left-back and their efforts to offload fringe stars like Donny van de Beek, Scott McTominay and Eric Bailly amongst others.
However, reports have also indicated that Amrabat remains on the club’s list and a move could yet take place for the Moroccan international.

Kolo Muani misses Frankfurt training amid PSG links
Eintracht Frankfurt striker Randal Kolo Muani has refused to take part in Wednesday’s training session as he bids to secure a move to Paris Saint-Germain.
On Tuesday, the 24-year-old told Sky Sports Germany that he was keen to move to the Ligue 1 champions and hoped that Frankfurt would accept an offer for him.

“I owe Eintracht Frankfurt a lot. I’ve taken the fans to my heart and have always behaved in a highly professional way. I always gave everything for the club until the very end,” he said.
“However, it’s no secret that Paris Saint-Germain made a record offer for me. A move to Paris is now a unique opportunity for me.
I would like to move to Paris and have also informed the people in charge. I hope and wish that Eintracht will agree to Paris’s offer and that this move will now be made possible for me.”
Now the French international has taken the step of refusing to take part in Frankfurt training ahead of their Europa Conference League play-off second leg against PFC Levski Sofia on Thursday.
