Soccer team Man Utd's plans for a £34m transfer are disrupted as the target player changes his mind and decides not to sign a contract.

According to recent reports, it seems that Nuno Mendes, who has been a coveted target for Manchester United, has had a change of heart. The young footballer, who was initially looking for a move away from Paris Saint-Germain, is now set to extend his stay at Parc des Princes.

Mendes, who joined PSG in a £34 million deal from Sporting CP in 2022, has been impressing with his skills on the field. He first caught the attention of the French club during a season-long loan and officially joined them in May. Coming from Sporting's academy, Mendes made his first-team debut in 2020 under the guidance of Ruben Amorim. The duo continued to work together, with Mendes playing a crucial role in Sporting's victories in the Primeira Liga and the Taca da Liga.

With such a strong partnership and impressive performances, Mendes was identified by Manchester United as one of their top targets to strengthen their left side of the defense. The Red Devils were hopeful when Mendes turned down a contract offer from PSG. However, it seems that the player has now made up his mind to stay with the French club. Reports suggest that PSG's boss Luis Enrique played a pivotal role in convincing Mendes to stay, seeing him as a key player in his project.

Interestingly, Amorim had also hoped for a reunion with Mendes at Manchester United. But it seems that the chances of that happening are slim now. The Red Devils were also interested in PSG striker Randal Kolo Muani, but the young player has now joined Juventus on loan. On the other hand, United had also been linked with a move for Bayern Munich's left-back Alphonso Davies, whose contract is expiring soon. However, like Mendes, Davies is also likely to reject a move to Old Trafford in favor of a new contract with his current club.

It's no secret that Manchester United is currently facing financial constraints, and they may need to offload some players in the upcoming transfer windows to raise funds for a significant squad revamp. This could include parting ways with some of their promising academy graduates, such as Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho. Mainoo has already attracted interest from Chelsea and Bayern Munich, while Chelsea has also enquired about signing Garnacho to strengthen their attacking options on the wings.
