Mundo Deportivo says the former Borussia Dortmund star mulled over a move to United but eventually thought better of it.
Dembele's current Barca contract expires in 2022 and the La Liga giants believe he is already trying to sort out his next club to leave at the end of this season, or on a free transfer in two years' time.
Serie A giants Juventus are reportedly interested in signing the player.
Dembele has played just one game so far this season, which was in fact his first appearance since November 2019 following a string of injury problems.
United did bring in four players on deadline day despite missing out on Dembele.
Experienced striker Edinson Cavani joined on a free transfer and left-back Alex Telles arrived from Porto for around £15million.
United also signed two young wingers, completing deals for Amad Diallo from Atalanta and Facundo Pellistri from Uruguayan side Penarol.
A move for Sancho fell through as the Red Devils were not prepared to pay Dortmund's asking price of £108m.
