Manchester United again asked about Barcelona whizkid Ansu Fati last month.

United asked agent Jorge Mendes about Fati during talks to re-sign club icon Cristiano Ronaldo.

The return of Ronaldo has brought Mendes and United closer together once again.

And Mundo Deportivo says Barcelona youngster Fati's name was mentioned in talks over Ronaldo between both Manchester clubs and Mendes.

Barcelona are said to consider him non-transferable, particularly now Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann have departed the club.

The Spaniard's current deal is up next summer but Fati is expected to extend with Barca.

He has already been given Messi's No 10 shirt following his move to Paris Saint-Germain.

Although talks are ongoing, Barcelona are understood to be giving Fati space to complete his recovery from injury.
