Manchester United believe Everton's asking price for Idrissa Gueye is too steep.
The Liverpool Echo says United have been put off by the £35m price tag, a fee deemed far too expensive for an ageing 29 year-old midfielder.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is expected to be in the market for a ball-winner after losing Ander Herrera, who waved goodbye to United fans in his final home game after opting not to sign a new contract with the club.
Gueye was looked at as a potential replacement, but it seems that deal is now off.
He could still be targeted by other clubs, with Arsenal previously interested in the holding midfielder as well.
