Karim Adeyemi's agent, Thomas Solomon, has revealed Manchester United were interested in signing him before he chose Borussia Dortmund as his preferred destination.
The Red Devils had been heavily linked with a move for exciting prospect Adeyemi, who has been the latest striker to receive rave reviews at Red Bull Salzburg following the sensational rise of Erling Haaland. The 20-year-old has enjoyed an excellent season with 23 goals and eight assists in 42 appearances, which has inevitably led to him earning a big-money move this summer.
He is now edging closer to a move to Dortmund as the German club prepares for life without Haaland, who is set to sign for Manchester City. United were also reportedly interested in the Norway international but could now miss out on both forward targets.
