Manchester United have reportedly missed out on a deal for Atalanta BC's Amad Traore, with the teenager set to join Parma on loan for the 2020-21 campaign.

The Red Devils are said to be keen admirers of the 18-year-old and have allegedly been attempting to secure a deal ahead of the closing of the transfer window on October 5.

However, according to Sky Italia, Parma have agreed a loan deal for the attacker, who is set to spend the season with the Yellow and Blues.

Traore made his Serie A debut last October and ended the 2019-20 campaign with one goal in three league appearances in all competitions.

Donny van de Beek is currently United's only summer signing, but the 20-time English champions are said to be confident of bringing two more players to the club before the deadline.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side are also preparing for Sunday's key Premier League clash with Tottenham Hotspur.
