Manchester United are not winning at all during the off-season.
With some of their big guns planning to exit Old Trafford, boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has suffered another setback with the news that Barcelona misfit Philippe Coutinho will not join his club.
The Brazilian attacker reportedly rejected a move to United out of respect for former club Liverpool.
Coutinho is said to be in talks with Paris St-Germain as he plots his exit from the Nou Camp.
Struggling to lure players to the club, an improved bid of £50m for England right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka has also been rejected by Crystal Palace, while the Red Devils will also have to fork out £500 000-a-week, if they want to keep star man Paul Pogba at the club.
The club’s record-signing Paul Pogba has this week revealed that he was “ready for a new challenge” amid links to Real Madrid and Juventus.

He isn’t the only man keen to leave Solskjaer’s sixth-placed Premier League finishers.
Romelu Lukaku’s Belgium coach, Roberto Martinez, has told the striker to further his career elsewhere after a tough season.
Lukaku is being linked with a move to Inter Milan where ex-Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has taken charge.
Martinez says: “It is clear that he has to leave Manchester United.
“It would be a good thing for both parties. It is now important that Romelu finds the right club.”
