Manchester United football director John Murtough blocked a summer move for Sergino Dest, according to a report.
Barcelona were willing to part ways with the American full-back in the transfer window in order to help balance finances, and United boss Erik ten Hag was keen to bring Dest, who he had previously worked with at Ajax, to Old Trafford.
But according to The Athletic, Murtough was keen to stick with Diogo Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka as right-back options going forward.
Dest eventually moved to AC Milan on loan, with the Italian side holding the option to buy for £17.
