MANCHESTER UNITED could potentially miss out on a number of signings in January after their relationship with Mino Raiola intensified.

The Red Devils failed to secure the services of Norwegian striker Erling Haaland from Red Bull Salzburg after they refused to be held to ransom by the super-agent.

Borussia Dortmund then swooped in and signed the 19-year-old for £18.5million.

United's relationship with Raiola was already thought to be rocky before the Haaland situation as Pogba's agent repeatedly makes negative comments about the club.

Should Raiola's demands be too high once again, United could have another transfer window where they fail to strengthen their squad.

Here SunSport runs down the list of Raiola clients that could miss out on a move to Old Trafford.

MARCO VERRATTI

United's executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward is a huge fan of the Paris Saint-Germain midfielder.

Woodward was keen on signing the Italian international in the summer of 2018, only for Jose Mourinho to block a move for the player.

A midfielder is a must for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer if wants to finish in the top four, and Verratti could provide the defensive cover United have been lacking.

GIANLUIGI DONNARUMMA

AC Milan could be tempted to cash in on the talented goalkeeper with his contract to expire in 2021.

It has been claimed that he reportedly turned down a £3.5m-a-year deal at the San Siro earlier this season, peaking the interest of United.

With David De Gea guilty of below-par performances this campaign, Donnarumma could be earmarked as his long-term successor.

LORENZO INSIGNE

The Napoli winger is likely to be sold by the Serie A side with club president Aurelio De Laurentiis ready to offload him along with Kalidou Koilibaly and Dries Mertens.

United had been linked with a move for Insigne last term, and they could reignite their interest should he become available.

BLAISE MATUIDI

Juventus could decide to cash in on the World Cup winner with his contract to expire at the end of the season.

United were linked with a move for the defensive midfielder in the summer, but a move failed to materialise.

A cheaper alternative to Verratti, the 32-year-old will be seen as an attractive option for Solskjaer.

ALESSIO ROMAGNOLI

Another AC Milan star, the centre-back was a reported £60million target for United before they managed to lure Harry Maguire away from Leicester.

But as their defence continues to put in inconsistent performances, the 24-year-old could find himself back on the radar.
