Spanish starlet Dani Olmo 'knows nothing' about Manchester United interest

Spain Under-21 international Dani Olmo admits that he is unaware of rumours linking him with a move to Manchester United this summer.

Spain youth international Dani Olmo has played down rumours claiming that Manchester United want to sign him this summer.

The 21-year-old, who plays for Dinamo Zagreb, impressed during a triumphant Euro Under-21 Championship with Spain, winning the 'man of the match' award in the final against Germany.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, having signed winger Daniel James and right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka so far this summer, wants to bring a younger crop of players to United.

Olmo, however, was unmoved by the rumours, insisting it was a matter for his manager and his father.

"Honestly, I know absolutely nothing about it," he told Croatian outlet T-Portal. "It's for my manager Andy Bara and my dad."

When asked what he was looking for at his next club, the youngster added: "Very simple – (I want) a club where I will play. Because I am still young and for me it is most important that I have minutes."

United are also chasing a central midfielder and defender before the window shuts, with Bruno Fernandes and Harry Maguire reportedly their top two targets.
