On Tuesday, Bayern Munich dropped two huge transfer news in succession. Bayer confirmed the signing of both Mats Hummels and Renato, with the latter being an unexpected bombshell.
Sanches, 18 old midfielder was highly linked with a move to old Trafford with others sources reporting that even his father was happy that Red Devils had made contact to his agent in a bid to secure the move to United next season.
But this would not come as a sweet tale to United fans who were hoping that the move would mature as the club tries to rebuild the squad with the aim of challenging for silverware.
Fans of the 20-time English Premier League champions were treated to a report as to why Sanches ended at the Allianz Arena instead of Old Trafford.
This came after the Bundesliga champions who swiftly wrapped up the deal for Sanches, signing the Portuguese starlet on a five-year deal worth €35m, leaving Man United fans in shock and dismay as to why the Red Devils failed to land their summer target.
According Gianluca Di Marzio, the FA Cup finalists – due to play West Ham on Tuesday in the Premier League – were in fact close to signing the Bayern ace, but the Italian Sky Sports journalist claims that Van Gaal’s side backed off from the deal.
