Manchester United players have arrived at the club's Carrington training base on transfer deadline day.
United completed the signing of Bruno Fernandes from Sporting Lisbon on the penultimate day of the January transfer window, though Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was not very optimistic of any more incomings.
Asked at his press conference about the chances of United signing the striker they want, amid interest in Bournemouth forward — and former Old Trafford youngster — Josh King, Solskjaer said: "I don’t think we will do anymore business, no. I don’t think so."
Solskjaer confirmed Fernandes is training with his United teammates, however, after the squad arrived as normal to complete their preparations for the Premier League fixture against Wolves on Saturday tea time.
The new signing could make his United debut at Old Trafford.
United are facing Nuno Espirito Santo's side for the fourth time this season — and sixth time since March. It's their final game before a 16-day break as the Premier League enters its first ever winter hiatus.

As we close in on deadline day, plenty of transfer rumours are flying around and SportNation.Bet has identified the three most likely signings City could make before the window slams shut.
Yan Couto - 13/8
Coritiba defender Yan Couto has emerged as one of the brightest young prospects in world football recently, with the 17-year-old full-back attracting interest from the likes of Barcelona and City.
It is claimed that the defender would be available for €5m, meaning he would be, in City’s financial case, a cheap signing for a player for the future.
But with Barcelona also keen, it could boil down to who Couto prefers joining.
Milan Skriniar - 8/1
Another defender City are linked with is Inter Milan centre-back Milan Skriniar, who has established himself as one of the world’s best defenders in a short space of time.
The 24-year-old Slovakian has been outstanding for Antonio Conte’s Inter this season and has been linked with a move away from the San Siro.
However, luring him to the Etihad Stadium will not come cheaply, with reports elsewhere claiming that it would cost City north of £80m to get a deal over the line.

Pau Torres - 8/1
Another defender that City are being tipped to make a move for is Pau Torres of Villarreal.
The 23-year-old, who was on loan at Malaga last term, recently stormed his way into the Spain national team for the first time, making his debut as recently as November.
Like with the chase for Couto, it is thought that Barcelona are also keen on the defender, as are City’s Premier League rivals Arsenal.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-01-31--What is the coronavirus and should we be worried about the outbreak?

As the first two cases of coronavirus are confirmed in the UK , we look at what the virus which originated in the Chinese city of Wuhan is .
It is known as a novel coronavirus .
This means it is a member of the family of viruses - known as coronavirus - which has never previously been encountered .
Like many other illnesses of its type , it originated from animals with the source pinpointed at a food market in Huanan in the city of Wuhan , which has 11 million residents .
One theory is snakes are the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the full name of the virus - whereas other scientists suggested it was harboured by bats .
Other viruses which have originated in animal hosts include Ebola .
Is it like Sars and Mers ?
The severe acute respiratory syndrome ( Sars ) and Middle Eastern respiratory syndrome ( Mers ) were both caused by coronaviruses that originated from animals .
Sars was first reported in China late in 2002 .
Initially , like in this case , the authorities played down the reports of the flu-like illness , which led it spreading @ @ @ @ @ @ @ global panic .
More than 8,000 people were infected and 750 people died .
The difference between 2020 is that while the authorities may originally have downplayed the outbreak , they have been quicker to introduce measures to control it - shutting down the market and ultimately putting the city in lockdown .
Mers , which originated in dromedaries in 2012 , was harder to pass from human to human but had a higher death rate - killing 858 of the 2,494 people who became infected .
In both Sars and Mers , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ probably bats .
Sars began in bats then spread to civet cats before it first infected humans .
What are the symptoms ?
The virus causes pneumonia and those who have become ill have reported coughs , fever and breathing difficulties .
As this is viral pneumonia , there 's no point taking antibiotics .
Anti-viral drugs can be used , but they only usually reduce the severity of the symptoms .
Those who have died have been known to already have underlying health conditions .
Is is being transferred from human to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be transmitting in this way and the number of cases has tripled in the last week .
There have now been 213 deaths and 9,100 confirmed cases of coronavirus .
Two people have also now been confirmed to have the virus in the UK .
They are both members of the same family and are receiving specialist NHS care .
No further information has been released about their identity but it was confirmed that they are being treated at a specialist facility in Newcastle .
Professor Whitty said `` The NHS is extremely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and we are already working rapidly to identify any contacts the patients had , to prevent further spread .
`` We have been preparing for UK cases of novel coronavirus and we have robust infection control measures in place to respond immediately . ''
Meanwhile , the number of global infections stands at 130 cases in 18 other countries , but no deaths .
A special facility at Arrowe Park Hospital , Wirral , has been set up to quarantine 83 Britons and 27 foreign nationals from the Chinese city of Wuhan , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ UK at lunchtime on Friday .
On Thursday , the Staycity Hotel in York was put on lockdown after a man of Chinese heritage was taken to hospital after suffering flu-like symptoms .
Until the results of tests were known , the apartment containing the man 's belongings was cordoned off along with surrounding rooms and thea area will undergo a thorough clean and disinfection .
People in hazmat suits were also spotted on Thursday at Bristol University after a student fell ill. How concerned are the scientists ?
The timing of Lunar @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a worse time , as a week-long holiday starts on Friday ( January 24 ) .
Millions of Chinese nationals return home to celebrate .
At the moment , it appears people in poor health are most at risk , as is always the case with flu .
A key issue is the severity of the symptoms - some people appear to only be affected by mild illness , whereas others have become gravely ill .
This makes it much more difficult to get a sense of the real numbers affected and how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ person .
Severe acute respiratory syndrome , which is caused by a coronavirus , killed 774 of the 8.098 people infected in an outbreak that began in China in 2002 .
Around one in five cases are thought to be severe .
The infection rarely causes a running nose or sneezing .
On Thursday evening , the World Health Organisation declared a public health emergency and the UK government raised the risk level to UK nationals from low to moderate .
While the ratio of deaths to infections appears to be low , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is too simplistic to divide the number of cases by the number of deaths .
China 's National Health Commission said the transmission ability of the virus is getting strong but it is unclear on the risks posed by any potential mutations of the virus .
No .
While the spread of the virus outside of China is of concern it is not an unexpected development .
The key issues are how transmissable it is and how many people will become severely ill and end up in hospital .
Health workers could be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with respiratory symptoms who has travelled to an affected region recently .
So far , older people are being hit hardest .
This may because they already have existing health conditions which make them more susceptible to the new virus .
Children have not yet been impacted by it .
Basic hygiene measures , such as frequent hand washing , are a simple way to protect yourself .
Health Secretary Matt Hancock has said the NHS is `` ready to respond appropriately '' to any cases of coronavirus that emerge in the UK @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said while `` there is an increased likelihood that cases may arise in this country , we are well prepared and well equipped to deal with them '' .
`` This is a rapidly developing situation and the number of deaths and the number of cases is likely to be higher than those that have been confirmed so far , and I expect them to rise further . ''
He said the situation was being `` closely monitored '' and precautionary and proportionate measures have been put in place .
On Wednesday ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ suspended all flights in and out of Wuhan and the city 's effectively on lockdown with trains , trams , ferries and buses all halted .
How can it be prevented ?
It is clear the virus will not stop on its own and measures have been brought in to bring it to an end - limiting people 's movement , encouraging hand washing and treating patients in isolation with healthcare workings wearing protective gear .
Increased surveillance is the key to preventing the spread of the virus .
Countries such as the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Thailand , Indonesia , Hong Kong and the Philippines have brought in extra checks .
There will be screening of passengers for a high temperature at airports in Australia and the US .
As with every virus , it has an incubation period meaning it 's not always possible to detect it as the symptoms have yet to appear .
People are infectious even before their symptoms appear and the time between infection and symptoms lasts from one to 14 days .
The virus is carried into the air during normal breathing @ @ @ @ @ @ @

More people have now been infected with the coronavirus outside of China than have within the country where the outbreak started, it emerged on Monday.
According to John Hopkins University worldwide coronavirus tracker there have been more than 87,000 cases globally whereas there have been 80,860 cases within China.
Deaths outside China have risen to 3,421 and there have been 3,208 inside China.
(Image: AP)
But what is coronavirus, what are the symptoms and how best can you avoid it? We take a look.
What is coronavirus?
It is known as a novel coronavirus and Covid-19 can affect your lungs and airways. It's caused by a virus called coronavirus.
This means it is a member of the family of viruses - known as coronavirus - which has never previously been encountered.
Like many other illnesses of its type, it originated from animals with the source pinpointed at a food market in Huanan in the city of Wuhan, which has 11 million residents.
Many of those initially infected, in January 2020, either worked or frequently shopped at the seafood wholesale market.
Other viruses which have originated in animal hosts include Ebola.
How many people have been infected?
There have been almost 170,000 cases globally - as of March 16 and 6,509 people have died.
In the UK, more than 1,391 people have been infected and 35 people have died as of Sunday March 15.
More than 40,000 tests have been carried out.
Infections outside of China have been reported in 156 countries.
Five people in Greater Manchester have died so far from coronavirus.
Is it like Sars and Mers?
The severe acute respiratory syndrome (Sars) and Middle Eastern respiratory syndrome (Mers) were both caused by coronaviruses that originated from animals.
Sars was first reported in China late in 2002. Initially, like in this case, the authorities played down the reports of the flu-like illness, which led it spreading unchecked to 26 countries, causing widespread global panic.
More than 8,000 people were infected and 750 people died.
(Image: AP)
The chief difference between 2020 is that while the authorities may originally have downplayed the outbreak, they have been quicker to introduce measures to control it - shutting down the market and ultimately putting the city in lockdown.
Mers, which originated in dromedaries in 2012, was harder to pass from human to human but had a higher death rate - killing 858 of the 2,494 people who became infected.
In both Sars and Mers, the original hosts for both coronaviruses was probably bats.
Sars began in bats then spread to civet cats before it first infected humans.
What are the symptoms?
Coronavirus is a new illness that can affect your lungs and airways.
The main symptoms are a fever (high temperature), a cough and shortness of breath. But the symptoms don't necessarily mean you have coronavirus, only a test can clarfiy this.
The virus causes pneumonia and those who have become ill have reported coughs, fever and breathing difficulties.
But these symptoms do not necessarily mean you have the illness.
As this is viral pneumonia, there's no point taking antibiotics.
Anti-viral drugs can be used, but they only usually reduce the severity of the symptoms.
(Image: Getty Images)
Those who have died have mostly - but not exclusively - been known to already have underlying health conditions.
In severe cases, there can be organ failure.
The antiviral drugs we currently use against flu will not work.
Recovery depends on the strength of patients' immune system.
Is is being transferred from human to human?
It has been confirmed to be transmitting in this way as the World Health Organisation declared a global pandemic.
The recent cluster of cases in northern Italy - which have not been traced back to a Patient Zero - have demonstrated how it is spreading from human to human.
Should I go to the doctor if I have symptoms?
The medical advice in the UK is that if you have recently travelled from areas affected by coronavirus you should stay indoors and avoid contact with other people (as you would with flu) for seven days.
Stay at home for seven days if you either have a high temperature and you feel hot to touch on your back and chest.
And if you have a new, continuous cough which means you've started coughing repeatedly.
Do not attend a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital.
You do not need to contact 111 to tell them you are staying at home.
Testing for coronavirus is not needed if you're staying at home.
Read the government's advice about staying at home.
When should I call NHS 111?
You feel you cannot cope with your symptoms at home and your condition gets worse and do not get better after seven days.
Only call 111 if you cannot get help online.
How dangerous is it?
Because it's a new illness, we don not know exactly how coronavirus spreads from person to person.
Similar viruses are spread in cough droplets.
It's very unlikely it can be spread through packages or food.
The mortality rate is around two per cent in China, and less than that elsewhere. Sars had a mortality rate of more than 10 per cent.
Unlike flu, there's no vaccine which means it is more difficult for vulnerable members of the community to protect themselves.
How do I self-isolate at home?
try to keep at least 2 metres (3 steps) from other people in your home, particularly older people or those with long-term health conditions
ask friends and family and delivery services to deliver things like food shopping and medicines – but avoid contact with them
sleep alone if possible
regularly wash your hands with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds
try to stay away from older people and those with long-term health conditions
drink plenty of water and take everyday painkillers, such as paracetamol and ibuprofen, to help with your symptoms do not have visitors (ask people to leave deliveries outside) do not leave the house, for example to go for a walk, to school or public places
How concerned are the scientists?
(Image: Getty Images)
Scientists are becoming increasingly concerned by the spread of coronavirus globally and the implications for the world.
The World Health Organisation declared a global pandemic last week as the virus is now spreading widely in the community from country to country.
The UK government has defended its decision not to ban large sporting events or close schools in response to the coronavirus.
Chief Scientist Sir Patrick Vallance has spoken of the potential advantage of the UK acquiring some kind of herd immunity to coronavirus.
But his comments triggered a fierce backlash on social media.
On Sunday, the health secretary Matt Hancock appeared to distance himself from these comments when he said "herd immunity is not our goal or policy."
He said the government would soon ask the over-70s to stay "self-isolated at home for four months", even if they are not ill.
A petition for doctors and nurses in the UK to be tested for coronavirus has been signed by thousands of people.
Who's most at risk?
So far, older people are being hit hardest. This may because they already have existing health conditions which make them more susceptible to the new virus.

Children have not yet been impacted by it. Basic hygiene measures, such as frequent hand washing, are a simple way to protect yourself.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock has said the NHS is "ready to respond appropriately" to any cases of coronavirus that emerge in the UK.
He warned that if people didn't stop stockpiling in supermarkets, the government would be forced to take action to deter it.
(Image: Getty Images)
He said the situation was being "closely monitored" and precautionary and proportionate measures have been put in place.
How can it be prevented?
Wash your hands with soap and water often - do this for at least 20 seconds.
Wash your hands when you get home or into work.
Use hand sanitiser gel if soap and water are not available.
Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when you cough or sneeze.
Put used tissues in the bin immediately afterwards and wash your hands afterwards.
Avoid close contact with people who are unwell.
Do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth if your hands are not clean.
It is clear the virus will not stop on its own and measures have been brought in to bring it to an end - limiting people's movement, encouraging hand washing and treating patients in isolation with healthcare workings wearing protective gear.
The quarantine of the cruise ship in Japan proved to be ineffective, as hundreds of people were infected.
There is no specific treatment for coronavirus.
Antibiotics don't help as they don't work against viruses.
Treatment aims to relieve the symptoms while the body fights the isolation.
You will need to remain in isolation, away from other people, until you have recovered.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-01-31--M62 smart motorway on hold following safety concerns

Smart motorways including the M62 are under review by the government following safety concerns , the Transport Secretary has announced .
It follows a series of near misses on the smart motorway network , where drivers can use the hard shoulder , with the death toll on stretches of five-lane motorways reaching 38 in the last five years .
Work is currently underway on a 10-mile stretch of the M62 to transform it into a smart motorway between junctions at Rochdale and Brighouse .
There are also plans to widen the M60 to five lanes between junction 17 for Whitefield @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The M60 currently has five active lanes of traffic at the slip roads of junction 18 , but this would be extended back to junction 17 on both carriageways .
But Grant Shapps has told the Commons the new smart motorways will not be opened until the review has taken place .
The Transport Secretary said a £92 million project in Kent is among those that will not open to traffic while the dangers of the roads are assessed .
Chatham and Aylesford MP Tracey Crouch asked Mr Shapps if he agreed that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because it does not have stopped vehicle detection systems or `` appropriately spaced emergency refuges '' .
The Transport Secretary replied : `` That stretch of the M20 and all other stretches which are currently being worked on will not be opened until we have the outcome of the stock take . ''
When Mr Shapps announced his review in October 2019 , he said he wanted to ensure all motorways in the country are `` as safe as they possibly can be '' .
Philip Gomm , of motoring research charity the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ safety grounds this pause is unarguable .

Smart motorways including the M62 are under review by the government following safety concerns, the Transport Secretary has announced.
It follows a series of near misses on the smart motorway network, where drivers can use the hard shoulder, with the death toll on stretches of five-lane motorways reaching 38 in the last five years.
Work is currently underway on a 10-mile stretch of the M62 to transform it into a smart motorway between junctions at Rochdale and Brighouse.
There are also plans to widen the M60 to five lanes between junction 17 for Whitefield and junction 18 for Simister Island.
The M60 currently has five active lanes of traffic at the slip roads of junction 18, but this would be extended back to junction 17 on both carriageways.
But Grant Shapps has told the Commons the new smart motorways will not be opened until the review has taken place.
The Transport Secretary said a £92 million project in Kent is among those that will not open to traffic while the dangers of the roads are assessed.
Chatham and Aylesford MP Tracey Crouch asked Mr Shapps if he agreed that the new road system should not open because it does not have stopped vehicle detection systems or "appropriately spaced emergency refuges".
The Transport Secretary replied: "That stretch of the M20 and all other stretches which are currently being worked on will not be opened until we have the outcome of the stock take."
When Mr Shapps announced his review in October 2019, he said he wanted to ensure all motorways in the country are "as safe as they possibly can be".

Philip Gomm, of motoring research charity the RAC Foundation, said: "On safety grounds this pause is unarguable. But it does mean that for users of the M20 - who have suffered delays not just because of this scheme but also the Brexit-related speed restrictions and lane closures - the inconvenience is set to go on.
"No-one underestimates the complexity of these schemes but it does underline the need to get the design right first time."
Highways England developed smart motorways as a way of increasing capacity without the more costly process of widening roads.
Parts of the M60 and the M62 have already been converted.
But there are growing concerns that the removal of a permanent hard shoulder has created a safety hazard, with some drivers being killed after stopping in live running lanes.
A recent investigation by BBC Panorama found that 38 people have been killed on smart motorways in the past five years.

The public will be able to conduct coronavirus antibody tests at home within a matter of days, rather than weeks and months, MPs have heard.

Prince Charles’s office told ITV's royal correspondent Chris Ship: "It is not possible to ascertain from whom the Prince caught the virus owing to the high number of engagements he carried out in his public role during recent weeks.
"He has been displaying mild symptoms but otherwise remains in good health and has been working from home."

Meanwhile, Boris Johnson yielded to the mounting pressure to order a widespread lockdown in the UK after thousands of people ignored calls for 'social distancing' to slow the coronavirus pandemic.
His announcement on Monday night means all shops are now shut - apart from those selling food and pharmacies - in a bid to keep people at home to slow the spread of the virus.
Mr Johnson urged people to stay home and only leave the house for one of the following reasons: shopping for basic necessities; one form of exercise a day; a medical need; travelling to work if absolutely necessary.
There have been 335 deaths from coronavirus in the UK and 6,650 confirmed cases, although the true figure is likely to be much higher as widespread testing is not taking place.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-02-03--Decade-long saga over Mottram bypass could soon be at an end after government confirmation

A decade-long saga to build a bypass on the congested route between Manchester and Sheffield could finally be nearing the end as it ’ s revealed plans will be submitted this year .
Stalybridge and Hyde MP Jonathan Reynolds says he has received confirmation from the government that the planning application for the proposed Mottram bypass will go ahead in 2020 .
The plans , part of the £242 million Trans-Pennine upgrade programme , would see a new dual carriageway created from the M67 junction 4 roundabout to a new junction on the A57 ( T ) at Mottram Moor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be constructed to connect to the A6018 Roe Cross Road and a new single carriageway linking the the A57 ( T ) at Mottram Moor to a new junction on the A57 at Woolley Bridge .
As well as the new roads , a number of ponds would be created to deal with the water run-off from the Peak District and farmland .
The proposed route for the project , which has been in the pipeline for ten years , was confirmed in 2017 by Highways England .
Mr Reynolds quizzed Secretary of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ progress in Parliament .
He told the House of Commons : `` After a campaign of over 50 years and quite a lot of lobbying from myself and my predecessors in Stalybridge and Hyde , and indeed members for High Peak , the development consent order for the Mottram bypass is due this year .
`` It ’ s been confirmed in writing to me by the government ’ s department that they are going to still do that as part of the Trans-Pennine upgrade programme .
“ Anyone who has ever driven @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in my constituency , this is a big chance to get it right , but this project has slipped so many times before people are understandably sceptical . ''
Mr Shapps MP replied : `` I am delighted to help everybody to travel through and beyond his constituency as quickly as possible . ''
He added that he would ask the roads minister to meet with Mr Reynolds to further discuss the plans .
Mr Reynolds had also received a written response from transport minister George Freeman , who stated that the development @ @ @ @ @ @ @ submitted to the planning inspectorate this calendar year .
This would support a 'proposed start of works for the scheme in 2021/22 ' , he wrote .
The existing route , which connects the M67 at Mottram in Longdendale to the M1 , north of Sheffield , mostly consists of single carriageway sections with steep gradients and sharp bends .
The government says that the existing route currently causes a 'number of negative issues for local people ' , and can often be badly affected by bad weather - with accident rates above @ @ @ @ @ @ @ still calls to create a bypass around Tintwistle and Hollingworth , which have been backed by Mr Reynolds and former High Peak MP Ruth George , who lost her seat to the Conservatives in the December general election .
It is understood that while the current plans for new roads around Mottram do not have a clear link for a second bypass , they have been designed to eventually enable a second dual carriageway to link to the new road planned between Mottram Moor and the A6018 Roe Cross Road to Stalybridge .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Service : ‘ I am very happy the Secretary of State has confirmed in Parliament what he has said to me in writing , which is that planning permission for the bypass will be submitted this year .
`` It has taken a lot of work over the last 10 years to get to this point .
`` I will be taking nothing for granted until it is built , and I will accept the minister ’ s offer to meet with him where I will raise the need to also get a @ @ @ @ @ @ @

A new single carriageway would also be constructed to connect to the A6018 Roe Cross Road and a new single carriageway linking the the A57(T) at Mottram Moor to a new junction on the A57 at Woolley Bridge.
As well as the new roads, a number of ponds would be created to deal with the water run-off from the Peak District and farmland.
The proposed route for the project, which has been in the pipeline for ten years, was confirmed in 2017 by Highways England.

Mr Reynolds quizzed Secretary of State for Transport Grant Shapps about its progress in Parliament.
He told the House of Commons: "After a campaign of over 50 years and quite a lot of lobbying from myself and my predecessors in Stalybridge and Hyde, and indeed members for High Peak, the development consent order for the Mottram bypass is due this year.
"It’s been confirmed in writing to me by the government’s department that they are going to still do that as part of the Trans-Pennine upgrade programme.
“Anyone who has ever driven from Manchester to Sheffield has been stuck in my constituency, this is a big chance to get it right, but this project has slipped so many times before people are understandably sceptical."
Mr Shapps MP replied: "I am delighted to help everybody to travel through and beyond his constituency as quickly as possible."
He added that he would ask the roads minister to meet with Mr Reynolds to further discuss the plans.
Mr Reynolds had also received a written response from transport minister George Freeman, who stated that the development consent order for Mottram bypass would be submitted to the planning inspectorate this calendar year.
This would support a 'proposed start of works for the scheme in 2021/22', he wrote.
The existing route, which connects the M67 at Mottram in Longdendale to the M1, north of Sheffield, mostly consists of single carriageway sections with steep gradients and sharp bends.

The government says that the existing route currently causes a 'number of negative issues for local people', and can often be badly affected by bad weather - with accident rates above the national average.
However there are still calls to create a bypass around Tintwistle and Hollingworth, which have been backed by Mr Reynolds and former High Peak MP Ruth George, who lost her seat to the Conservatives in the December general election.
It is understood that while the current plans for new roads around Mottram do not have a clear link for a second bypass, they have been designed to eventually enable a second dual carriageway to link to the new road planned between Mottram Moor and the A6018 Roe Cross Road to Stalybridge.
Mr Reynolds told the Local Democracy Reporting Service: ‘I am very happy the Secretary of State has confirmed in Parliament what he has said to me in writing, which is that planning permission for the bypass will be submitted this year.
"It has taken a lot of work over the last 10 years to get to this point.
"I will be taking nothing for granted until it is built, and I will accept the minister’s offer to meet with him where I will raise the need to also get a scheme around Hollingworth and Tintwistle."

`` Do people not realise Perri @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?

themanchestereveningnews--2020-02-03--Josh King's reaction to failed Manchester United deadline day transfer

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe insisted there have been `` no issues '' with forward Josh King after his proposed Manchester United deadline day transfer fell through .
The Cherries rejected United 's advances for King as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sought to boost his striking options on the final day of the January transfer window , eventually completing a loan move for Odion Ighalo from Chinese Super League Shanghai Shenua .

And Howe has now addressed rumours circulating that King was left frustrated with how the situation played out .
The Bournemouth boss told the Daily Echo that King is merely focused on returning from a hamstring injury .

“ He is desperate to come back from injury and show everybody how good he is .

“ It was a difficult few days for him .
I ’ m not going to deny that , but I think he is in a good place now to return and fight for us . ''
MEN Sport understands Bournemouth 's asking price for King was beyond what United were willing to pay , despite Howe previously admitting his club had a `` decision to make '' earlier in the day .
King was receptive to an Old Trafford return but a deal could n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I think I ’ m always thinking of my players and , of course , the club and making sure we do right by the club and right by the players - making sure they are in a position where they can give their best for us .
