Olympique Lyon midfielder Houssem Aouar has turned down Manchester United.

Sport1 says United have had a move for former Arsenal target Aouar rejected by the Lyon star.

The Gunners are one of the clubs consistently credited with an interest in Aouar and they had a bid worth £31million turned down in the past.

Aston Villa and Real Betis were linked last summer though it is United who remain interested in the versatile midfielder.

According to Sport1 reporter Patrick Berger, the Red Devils tried to approach the France international with an offer to sign him on a free transfer in the summer.

The 24-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season but has reportedly agreed to join Eintracht Frankfurt instead of the Manchester giants
