Manchester United reportedly only missed out on landing wonderkid Jude Bellingham after not being able to match Borussia Dortmund's £56,000-a-week wages.
The 17-year-old earned a move to the Bundesliga giants from Birmingham City for £25million at the end of July following widespread attention from Europe's biggest clubs, including the Red Devils.
United could have landed the talented midfielder had they matched Dortmund's wage offer having previously spurned another opportunity to sign him in January when they turned their attention to landing Bruno Fernandes from Sporting Lisbon.
