Manchester United have reportedly seen an offer for Liverpool target Nicolas Pepe rejected by LOSC Lille.
According to claims from Yahoo Sport France via Twitter, the Red Devils made a ‘firm’ offer to sign the Ivory Coast international but have seen their advances knocked back.

Liverpool have long been linked with Pepe, and Lille’s club president Gerard Lopez recently confirmed that the player is closing in on a departure from the club after months of speculation.
Napoli appear to be near the front of the queue in the race to land the winger, too, with Carlo Ancelotti understood by Yahoo Sport France to be a great admirer of his talents.
With just over two weeks of the transfer window remaining for Liverpool, whether or not they will step up their apparent interest in Pepe remains to be seen, with United seemingly failing in their opening approach.
