Eric Dier Manchester United transfer talk dashed by Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has moved to play down speculation that Eric Dier could be heading for a transfer to Manchester United this summer.
The England international has emerged as one of Jose Mourinho’s prime targets in defensive midfield in this transfer window, along with Chelsea’s Nemanja Matic and Monaco ace Fabinho.


However, Dier looks to be out of reach for United amid recent reports that Spurs were determined not to sell unless they received £50million or more for the 23-year-old.

Pochettino has now reinforced that message with his response to questions over Dier’s possible move to Old Trafford.

‘I think it’s a good thing for us that many clubs are talking about our players,’ the Argentine said. ‘It means that we have good players in the squad.

‘It’s different in the reality. Today there’s a lot of rumour in the media, a lot of stuff and things that happen. But it’s rumour, it’s nothing clear.

‘It’s another rumour. Many many rumours. I try to be honest always and today it’s so calm and Dier is our player.

I think he’s an important player for us and it’s not the idea to sell him.’
