Manchester United failed to land any of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's transfer priorities this summer, it has been revealed.
ESPN says Donny van de Beek joined from Ajax, Alex Telles arrived from Porto and Edinson Cavani was snapped up on a free transfer.
But none of those players had been on Solskjaer's shortlist of stars he hoped would turn the team into title challengers.
The Norwegian had made Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho a priority, while Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish and Leipzig centre-back Dayot Upamecano were also on his agenda.
All three players that were brought in were given the green light by Solskjaer before signing, the report adds, even if they hadn't been earmarked by him initially.
But the club were still unable to strengthen a key area that has been highlighted as a weakness in each of United's league games this season - centre-back.
