The Red Devils were linked with a number of footballers in July and August following the departure of more than 10 players from the club, including the high-profile trio of Paul Pogba, Dean Henderson and Edinson Cavani. New manager Erik ten Hag ended the transfer window with six new names at a total spend of £207.87 million .
Casemiro was one of the marquee signings made by the Red Devils, but reports now suggest that the midfielder was not the only player in Spain who sparked United's interest at the time. , the Red Devils also tried to sign Atletico Madrid forward Joao Felix while they were negotiating a deal to sign the aforementioned Brazil star from Real Madrid.
Ten Hag was said to be pursuing the Portuguese attacker as Cristiano Ronaldo appeared to be on his way out of Old Trafford amid reports that he wanted to leave the club before the 2022/23 season commenced. It is further claimed that Diego Simeone's club were not interested in United's huge offer of £113 million for the 22-year-old.
Interestingly, recent reports have suggested that Felix now wants to leave the LaLiga side in January following a difficult start to the season. The forward has not found the net in the opening 11 matches across all competitions of the campaign, and was said to be furious after being left on the bench in Atletico's disappointing 0-0 draw with Club Brugge in the UEFA Champions League this week, with the relationship between the Portugal player and Los Rojiblancos believed to have broken down.
