Attempts to sign Reading's Nicky Shorey and Derby's Giles Barnes have fallen through.

A spokesman for Reading has revealed tonight that the Shorey deal fell through after United failed to raise their initial £4m offer. The spokesman claimed that they had not heard from the Hammer since last week.

Meanwhile United are thought to have pulled out of the Barnes deal after Derby made excessive demands.

Elsewhere, the deal to bring Inter striker Adriano to the club fell through - as widely expected - earlier today, meaning that veteran Nobby Solano and striker Henri Camara are the only players arriving at the club prior to the end of the summer transfer window.
