Manchester United reportedly failed with a deadline day bid to sign Espanyol striker Raul de Tomas.
According to Football Insider, Erik ten Hag was keen to recruit a striker and was interested in completing a deal for the 27-year-old Spanish attacker. De Thomas was open to leaving the La Liga club after 'disagreements' with new manager Diego Martinez.
The report states that the striker - who was left out of Espanyol's matchday squad in the opening three league games of the season - was keen on a move to Old Trafford, but that a move never materialised following deadline day talks.
