Borussia Dortmund 'were left baffled’ after Manchester United made a last-ditch attempt to sign Nico Schulz for £1million on transfer deadline day.
Having failed to sign Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's top target Jadon Sancho, United sought to bring Schulz to club on a season long loan instead.
United offered to pay the 27-year-old’s his salary for the rest of the season but Dortmund rejected the deal and subsequently questioned the credentials of United’s recruitment team.
According to ESPN, Dortmund dismissed the approach from Manchester United chief Ed Woodward after the transfer saga surrounding Sancho.
