Spanish journalist Guillem Balague does not believe that Real Madrid defender Fabio Coentrao will move to Manchester United on loan this month.

Various reports have suggested that the Portugal left-back will join the Premier League champions in this transfer window after a move fell through in the summer.

However, in an article for Bleacher Report, Balague has claimed that Madrid will only consider parting with the former Benfica defender if a transfer offer in the region of £20m is made.

It is believed that United are not prepared to make the move permanent this month.
