Manchester United have failed with an approach for Fiorentina attacker Federico Chiesa.

The Telegraph says United have had an approach for Chiesa rebuffed.

United are looking for attacking alternatives having been frustrated so far in their pursuit of Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho.

Chiesa scored nine 11 goals and posted 11 assists for Fiorentina in Serie A last season.

United have reportedly enquired about taking him on a season-long loan, but Fiorentina will only do business over a permanent transfer - with Juventus believed to be considering a £45m move.
