Manchester United reportedly never held an interest in signing Riyad Mahrez from Leicester City in the final stages of the summer transfer window.
According to Paul Hetherington of the Daily Star Sunday, Mahrez left the Algeria squad in the hope of securing a transfer away from the Foxes, believing he could get a move to Old Trafford. However, it's been reported by Mark Clayton of the Leicester Mercury that United were never in the frame.
"However, sources in Manchester have confirmed there was never any prospect of a deal for Mahrez and the Old Trafford club made no attempt to sign anyone on deadline day," Clayton wrote.
