Harry Redknapp's audacious move for England captain Rio Ferdinand did not get past first base.
Discreet soundings were made recently over Ferdinand's availability, but Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson told Tottenham he is not for sale.
Tottenham's medical department has even studied the nature of Ferdinand's injuries and were convinced they could get 100 games out of him over the next two seasons.
That convinced Redknapp that he was the signing Spurs needed, but United are not prepared to sell the defender at this time.
United are committed to paying Ferdinand £18m over the remaining three years of his contract and have made it clear he is not for sale.
