Manchester United were reportedly offered Boubacar Kamara, Denis Zakaria and Julian Alvarez in January but passed up the trio due to their managerial situation.
Kamara has stayed at Marseille despite the intense speculation surrounding his future, but Zakaria joined Juventus from Borussia Monchengladbach, while Manchester City signed Alvarez from River Plate.
According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Man United were offered all three players in January but did not want to make any new signings during the winter transfer window.
The report claims that the club were reluctant to add to their squad as a new manager will arrive at the end of the campaign to replace interim head coach Ralf Rangnick.
The Red Devils are still believed to hold an interest in Kamara, who has entered the final six months of his contract with Marseille.
The 22-year-old, who is expected to be available on a tree transfer ahead of next season, has scored once in 26 appearances for his French club during the 2021-22 campaign.
Man United will be looking to progress to the fifth round of the FA Cup when they take on Championship outfit Middlesbrough at Old Trafford on Friday night.
