Manchester United attempted a late move to sign Malick Fofana from Lyon after several forward departures. The player was reportedly open to the move, but his representatives blocked the transfer due to the late timing in the window. Foot Mercato is cited as the source. The transfer ultimately failed to materialise.

Manchester United, after Garnacho left and Matheus Cunha was injured, pushed to sign Malick Fofana in the last two days of the window. Jorge Mendes acted as intermediary between United and Fofana's father. United awaited a signal from Fofana's father to move forward, but it never came, so the transfer did not happen.

Goal.com reports on the potential transfer of Malick Fofana to Manchester United. Malick Fofana, a 19-year-old wonderkid from Lyon, has sparked speculation about a potential move to Manchester United after he was spotted training in a Marcus Rashford Manchester United shirt. His current club, Lyon, has been relegated, which may make it easier to strike a deal.

Manchester United is interested in Malick Fofana, but they are considered to be trailing behind other clubs in the race. In addition to Manchester United, Nottingham Forest has also shown interest, though both clubs are reportedly behind Chelsea and Liverpool in their pursuit. As per sources, Liverpool has already begun discussions with Fofana's agents. The Belgian player, who has scored 11 goals in 41 matches this season, is open to a move to the Premier League, but Lyon is expecting a transfer fee of at least 50 million euros to let him go.
