Josh King fury
Manchester United chief Ed Woodward left Josh King unhappy when he failed to submit an improved offer for the Bournemouth striker on transfer deadline day
The Cherries hitman was wanted by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer but the club ended up signing Odion Ighalo on loan from Shanghai Shenhua instead.
United went to Bournemouth with two offers, the second of which was worth £25million, in the hope of landing King on deadline day.
The Norway international thought a deal that would see him return to the club, who he represented at youth level, would be struck.
But The Athletic say King was left devastated when United didn’t submit a new bid after their second offer was rejected.
The report says Bournemouth may have accepted a bid of around £30m in order to part with King, but United always wanted a loan deal and, in the end, got one over the line in the form of Ighalo.
