At least that’s what the Manchester Evening News claimed as the transfer window drew to a close last night.
United have waved goodbye to 11 faces this summer, the most notable of which being former captain Wayne Rooney and winger Adnan Januzaj.
And the latest reports suggest there could have been a 12th exit had Red Devils chiefs not asked for too much money.
The Manchester Evening News have not named the player who was not allowed to move on deadline day.
However, they have revealed that he met with his agents on Thursday to discuss a potential switch.
United’s valuation of the unnamed star apparently put off his prospective new club.
And the Manchester Evening News have revealed it’s the second time this year that he was prevented from leaving.
They say executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward apologised to the same man for blocking a transfer in January.
United might be willing to let him leave at the start of 2018 if they don't have any injury problems though.
This summer United have signed Nemanja Matic, Romelu Lukaku and Victor Lindelof, as well as agreeing a deal for Zlatan Ibrahimovic to return to action when he recovers from a serious knee injury.
