Jose Mourinho's frustrations at Manchester United have aggravated as Napoli turned down a €103m bid for their defensive bedrock Kalidou Koulibaly, Corriere dello Sport claims via Football Italia.

The Senegalese defender has emerged as one of the best in his position in the past two years and has been on United's radar for quite some time. The £91.4m proposal was rejected as soon as it was received by president Aurelio Di Laurentiis.

Manchester United have been in hot pursuit of Koulibaly in order to shore up their fragile defence, having failed to sign one of a number of defenders they pursued in summer.
