Michael Carrick had instructed Manchester United to go out and sign at least three midfielders, as the head coach was keen on revamping the team’s engine room.
Two have arrived already, with Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans signed for a combined fee of around £85 million.
Carrick will need one more midfield addition, but the priority for INEOS is to now focus on player sales. Once that is done, the midfield search is expected to resume.
The Red Devils have already missed out on Elliot Anderson, Sandro Tonali, and Mateus Fernandes, while also cancelling the agreement for Ederson due to a failed medical.
INEOS continue to place extra emphasis on recruiting from within the Premier League, and Alex Scott has emerged as a top target.
