Atletico Madrid have sent a less than subtle hint over the future of Joao Felix after Manchester United were linked with a big-money swoop for the Portuguese forward.
Erik ten Hag ’s troops have endured a woeful start to the new Premier League season - losing their first match of the campaign against Brighton & Hove Albion before being thumped by Thomas Frank’s Brentford.
That has led to even further calls for the current squad at Old Trafford to be strengthened with a number of fresh names being linked with a transfer. One of the more intriguing players rumoured to be under consideration was 22-year-old Joao Felix.
