Manchester United football director John Murtough is under growing pressure to wrap up some transfers after a deal for Adrien Rabiot collapsed.
United have decided to pull the plug on their move for Rabiot due to the Juventus midfielder’s 'obscene' wages demands. The clubs had previously agreed an initial £15million transfer fee with Juve for the 27-year-old France international.
Murtough flew out to Turin to try and tie up the loose ends with Rabiot and his mother Veronique, who acts as his agent. The trip was the latest in a string of flights for Murtough, who is the man in charge of supplying Erik ten Hag with reinforcements for the new era.
