Manchester United transfer news: Jose Mourinho striker target reveals summer plans
MANCHESTER UNITED have been dealt a huge blow in their pursuit of Ajax youngster Kasper Dolberg.
Kasper Dolberg rules out summer move
Dolberg has enjoyed a stunning breakthrough campaign at Ajax this season, scoring 22 goals across all competitions.
His goals have fired Ajax to the Eredivisie title and through to the Europa League final, where they face Manchester United on May 24.
Kasper Dolberg has 22 goals for Ajax this season
United manager Jose Mourinho is said to have been keeping tabs on the 19-year-old striker this term ahead of a summer move.
But the Denmark international insists he has no desire to leave Ajax in the summer as he targets more goals for the Dutch giants next season.
"I will stay next season at Ajax," Dolberg told Dutch publication Elf Voetbal. "I want to get better and score more goals."
Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann is Mourinho's top striker target as he prepares for United's potential return to the Champions League.
But the Manchester Evening News claims the Red Devils manager also wants Dolberg at Old Trafford as he's keen to invest in youth.
