Manchester United have been dealt a blow to their hopes of signing Joao Felix after it emerged the attacker supports one of their Premier League rivals.
Felix is free to leave Atletico Madrid in the January transfer window, with a loan deal increasingly likely. He has failed to live up to his hefty price tag at Atletico, with his game time steadily decreasing over the first half of the season.
The 23-year-old was still called up to Portugal's squad for the World Cup and he started four of their five games at the tournament. Despite his impressive displays for his country, it appears he will now be leaving the Wanda Metropolitano, if only temporarily.
