Manchester United reportedly had a proposal to swap United States international Weston McKennie for Donny van de Beek rejected by Juventus, a financial investigation into the club has revealed.
McKennie, 24, made his full Premier League debut for Leeds during the 2-2 draw at Old Trafford in midweek and could be set to feature again when the reverse fixture takes place this weekend. Alongside compatriot Tyler Adams, McKennie impressed up against Marcel Sabitzer and Fred in midfield.
The Juventus loanee particularly enjoyed the battle in the midfield, even detailing the 'battle scar' that he received during an interview after the match. McKennie may well have been able to avoid that 'welcome to the Premier League' moment had United got their own way in the transfer market 18 months ago.
