The striker has received interest from Italian champions Juventus and Fiorentina.
Fiorentina say they had agreed a deal with United and had already paid the first instalment of the transfer fee for the former Bulgaria international before things fell apart.
A statement from Florence criticised the 31-year-old for failing to arrive after they paid for his flight to finalise the move.
It read: 'He's not worthy of our city, our shirt and the values it represents.
'The player embarked in the company of his agent and with tickets paid by Fiorentina on a direct flight to Florence. But the player never arrived in Florence.
'[This was] owing to the reckless and arrogant actions of other clubs which have nothing to do with the values of decency, fair play and ethics of the sport and which go beyond the limits of fairness.
'As for the player, notwithstanding his characteristics and technical merit, at this point we are happy that he did not come to Fiorentina.'
