Man Utd ‘made Danny Ings transfer enquiry’ with Southampton striker wanted to replace injured Marcus Rashford
MANCHESTER UNITED reportedly made an enquiry for Southampton’s Danny Ings earlier this month.
The Telegraph claims Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made an approach for the 27-year-old after Marcus Rashford was ruled out for six weeks with a back injury.
And they are now scrambling to offer Ings a new contract as the ex-Liverpool man enters the final two-and-a-half years on his current deal.
United remain desperate to add another striker to their squad on Deadline Day.
They have already failed with a bid for Bournemouth’s Josh King but have launched a second attempt.

And there is also no chance of signing Edinson Cavani from Paris Saint-Germain.
Even ex-Watford man Odion Ighalo is on United’s radar as they look to add to yesterday’s capture of Sporting Lisbon star Bruno Fernandes.
And there’s been no luck with a loan offer for San Lorenzo’s young Argentina international Adolfo Gaich.
