Manchester United had reportedly failed to secure the services of Atletico Madrid defender Filipe Luis during the recently concluded transfer window.

  • According to Spanish newspaper AS, manager David Moyes was keen on signing the left-back in January, with veteran French star Patrick Evra likely to depart in the summer on a free transfer.



    However, it is understood that the Red Devils' bid worth £16.6m was rebuffed by the La Liga giants, as neither the club nor the player were interested by the transfer offer.



    28-year-old Luiz has been a regular at Atletico Madrid since joining the club from Deportivo La Coruna in the summer of 2010.
