Atletico Madrid have sent a cheeky message to Manchester United after they reportedly made an audacious attempt to sign Portuguese star Joao Felix with a record bid.
According to a report by Spanish news outlet Marca, Manchester United were 'plotting' a move for Felix, as it was claimed that the United hierarchy held discussions with Felix's representatives on Tuesday evening, as they attempt to try and bolster their attacking options. United are desperate to add to their forward line ahead of the window closing and Felix is the latest name to be linked with a move to Old Trafford.
Felix has long been linked with Liverpool, and performed well against them in the Champions League last season, drawing comparisons to Roberto Firmino - with his ability to play through the middle as an undersized 'false 9' whilst being one of the more effective chance creator's in European football - providing 0.22 expected assists per 90 minutes.
