Chinese Super League club Shandong Luneng are still discussing the possibility of signing Manchester United forward Ashley Young, 31.
Shandong tried to land him last month and have resumed talks via representatives in recent days.
Young started for United as they sealed progress to the last-16 of the Europa League with a 1-0 win over Saint-Etienne, but the Chinese club have not given up hope of landing the former England international.
He had been offered a three-year deal understood to be worth around £5.
