Atletico Madrid mock reports linking Joao Felix with a move to Manchester United ... as Spanish side call £113m star 'priceless' in latest blow to Erik ten Hag's transfer policy

Atletico Madrid have mocked reports Manchester United made a £110million move for Joao Felix, amid rumours linking Erik ten Hag’s side with the star, as the Spanish side labelled him ‘priceless’.

United reportedly registered an interest in signing Felix earlier in the summer after he had been touted as one of the biggest rising stars in European football.

However, United have refuted claims they offered Atletico £110m for Felix after the Spanish giants disregarded their initial interest, saying they were ‘pure nonsense’.
