According to Manchester Evening News, Manchester United are not interested in signing left-back Jose Salinas, despite the 19-year-old's failed move to Atletico Madrid.

United monitored the 19-year-old over the summer as they looked to strengthen their left-back position, but have decided against making a move. Even with his €16 million (£13.7 million) release clause, United have not pursued him.

Salinas was expected to join Manchester United's Champions League rivals Atletico Madrid on transfer deadline day, but the deal has now collapsed. Diego Simeone's side have reportedly turned their attention to loaning veteran left-back Nicolas Tagliafico from Lyon.

Racing Santander completed the signing of 29-year-old Spanish left-back Aarón Martín from Genoa on deadline day, which may have left room for Salinas to leave.

However, reports from Spain suggest that Atletico Madrid are now considering loan options for the left-back position, as they have failed to offload enough first-team players this summer. Víctor Hugo from Wolves is also among their potential targets.

Despite being available for transfer, Manchester United are not expected to make a late move in the final hours of the transfer window. Although he shows potential, his senior experience is limited to three La Liga appearances for Racing Santander this season and 35 matches in Spain's second division.

Manchester United are exploring left-back options in the final days of the transfer window, but their focus is on short-term targets and potential loan deals, with plans to reassess the position next summer.

Their primary target this summer was Lewis Hall, but Newcastle United showed no willingness to sell the 21-year-old England international.
