Report: Man U look elsewhere after Irons Diop snub
The interest was very real at one point as Old Trafford employed agents tested Hammers director of Football Mario Husillos’ resolve in holding onto the young Frenchman.
However, it went no further than a firm rebuttal by the Hammers board and the result is that the Reds are now reported to in talks to sign West Ham target Ozan Kabak from Stuttgart, according to German outlet Kicker, and reported again by the Metro.
There have been fresh comments from the Hammers to CandH declaring there is no way Diop would be allowed to leave and that has left manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with no options but to look elsewhere.

Bayern Munich, AC Milan, Schalke, Monaco and ourselves have all reported to have shown interest in the 19-year-old.
