Man Utd have “not followed up” on initial enquiries for Osasuna winger Victor Munoz, according to reports.
Newcastle have been heavily linked with signing the Spanish international for £34.5m, but both the Red Devils and Liverpool were said to have registered an interest too
However, the Daily Mail claim that the Magpies are the only team currently looking to “step up negotiations” and make a bid for Munoz.
The 22-year-old is a right-footed left winger, so he is the right profile for what Director of Football Jason Wilcox is looking for, but it looks like they are favouring moves for other targets.
Who could be pursued instead of Munoz?
Several wingers have been linked with a transfer to Old Trafford over the past few weeks, including Hoffenheim’s Bazoumana Toure, Lille’s Matias Fernandez-Pardo and Everton’s Iliman Ndiaye.
In an ideal world, though, it is believed that both Wilcox and manager Michael Carrick would prefer to recruit Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers.
Wilcox and Carrick have worked with the England international before, but there is an acknowledgement that a deal will be difficult for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, there is a lot of competition for Rogers, with Arsenal and Chelsea among his suitors. Secondly, the transfer fee could price out United.
Man Utd have dedicated most of their funds to other positions
Heading into the summer, it was reported that Wilcox and Carrick wanted (at least) two midfielders, a left back and a forward of some description (preferably left-sided).
A new winger is definitely the lowest priority, so a lot still hinges on how much of the transfer budget is eaten up by other signings.
The interest in Munoz does make sense as he was available for a relatively low price (compared to other forwards), but it appears the Red Devils won’t stand in Newcastle’s way to complete the deal.

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
