Man Utd 'failed in bid' to hijack Borussia Dortmund transfer for Erling Haaland replacement

Manchester United's attempt to strengthen their front-line have suffered significant damage as one of their main transfer targets is on the cusp of a move elsewhere.

RB Salzburg's Karim Adeyemi has impressed plenty of clubs across the continent with his fine form this season, including those high up in the Old Trafford hierarchy. However, United may have to look elsewhere for a summer signing as the German international looks set for a return to his home country.

According to Sport1, United tried to hijack Borussia Dortmund's pursuit of the forward and even offered him an impressive £150,000-per-week - but their proposal fell on deaf ears. It is expected that Adeyemi will pen a five-year contract with the Bundesliga side that does not contain a release clause.
