PETALING JAYA: Felda United have cooled their interest in former international Norshahrul Idlan Talaha now that they’ve decided to keep Brazilian striker Thiago Fernandes.

The Fighters coach Irfan Bakti confirmed that the team management had decided to pair up Fernandes with Liberian Francis Doe in attack instead of signing Norshahrul when the M-League’s second transfer window opens from June 28- July 15.
