Manchester United were somewhat surprisingly linked to an ambitious swoop for Barcelona star Ansu Fati in the last couple of weeks, with the Premier League side ready to bid around £135million to land him.

However, in an interview with Spanish source El Larguero via the Mail, Ansu Fati’s father Bori, rubbished the reports linking his son to Old Trafford next season;

The [Manchester] United links are not true, Ansu is happy here, he is following his dreams. He does not have to start every game, and he has Griezmann and Suarez ahead of him. Ansu has a lot of time.’

But my son must be patient for his chances, as he is playing with the greatest footballer ever in Lionel Messi.’

Ansu Fati, 17, has made 26 appearances in all competitions to-date this season, scoring six goals, five of which came in La Liga. Predominantly playing on the left of attack, the youngster can play on the right or through the centre.
