United, however, remain resolute in their chase of a player who has established himself as one of the division's most impressive midfielders. Charles has thrived since leaving City in 2023 for an initial £10.5million, having made just one senior appearance for Pep Guardiola's side. It's been reported that United are one of several Premier League clubs eager to sign Charles in the summer.

But whatever transpires there, United could find themselves bolstering City's coffers if they press ahead with their interest in Charles.
