Man United reportedly enquired about Tottenham starlet Dane Scarlett - only to be told it was too late as he had already agreed a new contract.
According to the Manchester Evening News, the Red Devils were interested in taking advantage of the young forward’s uncertain future, with his previous deal set to expire this summer.
Outgoing director of football Matt Judge was the man to launch United’s enquiry into his availability heading into the summer transfer window. However, he was met with a staunch reply that Scarlett had already agreed a new deal in north London - something that was eventually announced by Spurs earlier this week.
