Aymeric Laporte doesn't want to leave Athletic Bilbao
The defender, who has also been linked with Barcelona, is regarded as one of the best young centre-backs in Europe and has been tipped for a big future.
Both United and Barcelona have scouted the 21-year-old Frenchan, who has a release-clause of around £35m. However Laporte claims he is content with life in Bilbao.
"My name is mentioned in every transfer window and with a lot of teams," he told Spanish outlet AS.
"I've renewed four times with Athletic. I've done what I wanted, I've shown confidence in the club and them in me.
"Let's see if we can add more trophies."
