Erik Ten Hag's plans for a revamp at Manchester United have been handed two massive blows in the last 24 hours. First, Napoli boss Aurelio De Laurentiis revealed that only a massive bid for Victor Osimhen would get the Nigerian out of the club, and now, reports from sources close to Everton reveal that one of their options to reinforce the team's goal will not be up for grabs this summer.
According to a report by the Mirror, goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has made a decision regarding his future, which will not allow the footballer to negotiate with another team. The decision made by the English goalkeeper will see him extending his deal with Everton, rather than looking for other employment opportunities.
Manchester United had increasingly shown interest in his services due to David De Gea's uncertain future with the club, and he was seen as the best possible option to join the Red Devils. Nevertheless, the team coached by the Dutch tactician will have to look elsewhere for De Gea's potential replacement.
Pickford, who was also a transfer target for Tottenham, seems set to stay at Goodison Park for the next three years, and if things go as revealed by the English newspaper, the No.1 shot-stopper for the Three Lions could put pen to paper to his new deal this week.
