THE FUSE

This firm stance follows reports that several high-profile clubs were beginning to circle the United skipper. Turkish giants Galatasaray, along with Serie A heavyweights Juventus and AC Milan, were all considering whether to test United's resolve. Galatasaray, in particular, were thought to be preparing a deal that could reach a final fee of 50 million euros (£42.7 million). However, United have moved quickly to shut down any speculation, ensuring that their captain remains focused on the upcoming Premier League season rather than a move abroad.
