Jesse Lingard is set to see out the remainder of his contract at Manchester United after he was told he would not be allowed to leave Old Trafford on Deadline Day.
Newcastle and West Ham both tried to sign the England international on Monday, but the United board have decided not to sanction a transfer.
That is despite Ralf Rangnick giving Lingard his blessing to leave the club during a meetingbetween the interim manager and the 29-year-old on Monday.
Lingard, whose contract expires in the summer, was keen to move before the window shuts on Monday night.
The forward wants regular first-team football so he can play his way into Gareth Southgate's England squad ahead of this year's World Cup.
Lingard has started just two matches for United this season, none of which have come in the Premier League.
