Danny Ings was the subject of an inquiry from Manchester United in the club’s January window search for a Premier League proven goalscorer who could hit the ground running - but Southampton have been clear he was not for sale.
Saw he was Tier 1 so thought this was worth a post.

Fuck me Ed you've been a right slut pursuing a ST this week.
You filthy little fox in the box.
You can fox my box.
If only Woodward was good enough to work on multiple deals at once, then we wouldn't need this nonsense rush on deadline day
I feel like we are seeing live "Ed Woodward going through his contact list of agents and asking each one"
Hey, King Agent. Is he available? No? Ok, thanks.
On to the next then

Hey Percy agent! Long time! Is he available? Oh, ok. No I get it
. . .
I get we all hate Ed and all that, but personally I think this is a result of simultaneously trying to secure "better"/more favorable targets earlier in the window and now we are executing plan C or D etc.
That's the fucking problem ain't it.
You can discuss deals even when the transfer window isn't open. The window is just for the registration to go through. We've been slow off the block every single transfer window with us fannying about with 'negotiations' where we end up paying whatever the other clubs want. Literally better off giving them what they want initially since we'll get more time to fit the players in.
Yeah, don't get me wrong. I still think we are pretty horrible at securing new players. I was just questioning this "one deal at a time" comment which I haven't seen any real evidence for is correct. I mean most likely there has been several (poorly) attempts at securing other players at the same time as we tried to grt Haaland and Bruno. I don't think it was "Ok, Bruno is secured, what's next on the list? Josh King? OK let's give them a call and see".
The one deal at a time was more in reference to how bloody long they took to get anything done compared to announcing commercial deals.
Considering that he basically scores all of Southamptons goals there's no way they'd let him go
Would’ve been hilarious given how much the scousers still love him
He'd be a good addition but i don't know how should i feel if we go for a Liverpool reject.
Highly doubt it but at the same time yes please
Wow. I was just thinking about the possibilities of Ings joining us yesterday.

Recent signings from Southampton for us have been a waste of money.
I don't want a former Liverpool player in our team. It was enough when Owen played for us.
Owen was worth it for the lolz. Scouser has to join man utd to win a league medal
His cost would be eye watering with it being Jan, him being on red hot form, being English, etc.
Not really a move worth pursuing.
Not to mention how important he is for Southampton in their recent uptick.
And his injury record makes me question how much use we'd get out of him.
Our medical team would have him wheelchair bound for life by April
especially with the clubs recent injury record
Yep big shout here. He’s been on fire for 6 months of this season. That’s it. Prior to that he was plagued by injuries.
So he’s not worth sniffing until end of season or next.
