Mats Hummels rejected Manchester United to join Borussia Dortmund?

Manchester United reportedly failed in an attempt to sign Mats Hummels from Bayern Munich earlier this summer.

The 30-year-old was made available for transfer at the end of the most recent campaign, and the defender has now rejoined Borussia Dortmund after a three-year spell in Munich.

However, according to Bild, United were prepared to offer the Germany international a more lucrative contract to make the switch to Old Trafford.

The report claims that Hummels rejected a move to the Premier League giants due to their failure to qualify for next season's Champions League.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is keen to bring in another centre-back, although reports have suggested that United are being hampered by a restrictive transfer budget.

That has allegedly led to Solskjaer being prepared to cash in on Paul Pogba in the coming weeks.
