Marco Asensio rebuffed transfer interest from Manchester United and other potential suitors to stay put with Real Madrid until his contract expires next summer - according to reports. Speculation over Asensio and his future at the Spanish giants was rife throughout the transfer window.
United and other Premier League sides including Saudi-backed Newcastle were linked with his signature as Madrid pondered whether or not to cash-in on the 29-cap international. However, in the end, Asensio resisted a switch and will continue to fight for his place.
Suggestions that he might complete a move to Old Trafford were tentative at best, though, as Erik ten Hag, finally strengthened in attacking quarters on deadline day. Antony completed his €100million transfer from Eredivisie side Ajax before the deadline came and went at 11pm on Thursday night.
