Manchester United are seeking alternatives to previous target Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat.
The Red Devils were being linked with the Moroccan defensive midfielder with a view to a summer move.
However, transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano reckons there is no contact between United and Amrabat's representatives at present.
The 26-year-old was on the club's radar, but they may be looking at other targets instead.
United may be prioritizing signing a midfielder who is a passing specialist, as opposed to a destroyer such as Amrabat.
The Red Devils have found it tough to retain possession in tough games, especially away from home in the Premier League.
