The rivals have been squabbling over who has the best facilities and hotels. United have made it clear the Spaniard is not for sale.

Real failed with a deadline-day bid in August 2015 due to a mix-up with the paperwork.

United face Real in the ICC Trophy a week on Sunday in San Jose.

Students were evacuated from the Red Devils’ UCLA training base following a bomb scare on Wednesday.
