Man Utd refuse to meet Juventus £52.7m asking price for Brazil international
Manchester United are in the hunt for another defender but have refused to meet Juventus asking price for Brazil international Alex Sandro, according to The Daily Record.
The Serie A side have reportedly placed a £52.7 million [€60 million] valuation on Sandro, of which the Red Devils are not willing to pay.
The left-sided defender originally joined Juventus from Porto back in August 2016 for £22.8 million [€26 million] and has just two years on his contract at the club.

Sandro, at 27 years old, fits the bill but the Portuguese manager faces a fight to acquire his services for a price that the Premier League club feel is fair.
