It has been claimed that Premier League giants Manchester United were banned from signing Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez for free when he was about to leave Spanish side Barcelona.

The former Liverpool striker was the first player to be shipped out of Barcelona when new coach Ronald Koeman was appointed as replacement for Setien.

Setien was fired due to Barcelona's disappointing performance last season as they failed to win any title and also suffered an embarrassing defeat in the Champions League against Bayern Munich.

According to the report on UK Sun, Manchester United were among the clubs banned by Barcelona to sign Luis Suarez before he eventually joined Atletico Madrid.
