The defender is yet to agree a new contract with Real Madrid, with the reports in Spain claiming the La Liga side are reluctant to meet his demands for a £135,000 deal.
AS have reported that the contract extension is not close to being agreed. Spanish radio station Cadena SER have claimed that Ramos is growing more and more concerned with the situation.
United have been linked with the 29-year-old all summer long. David De Gea has been linked with a move in the opposite direction, and the most recent reports claim that United manager Louis van Gaal is keen to sell the goalkeeper, who has one year left on his contract.
Real coach Rafa Benitez has strongly hinted this week that he wants to make more signings before the transfer window shuts.
"We have a good team, but coaches always want to improve," Benitez said after his side's pre-seaoson 1-0 Audi Cup final defeat to Bayern Munich. "The market is open until August 31."
