That does not mean that there are no interest from other clubs for United players.

Manchester United Manager Jose Mourinho gave his weekly press conference today ahead of tomorrow’s clash against Hull City.
The 53-year-old Portuguese does not expect the top teams to falter like they did last season and believes clubs vying for the title would need more than the 81 points Leicester City collected to win the Premier League this year.
“It’s true that I’ve known Mourinho for many years”.
The 32-year-old midfielder has struggled since joining United last season and has yet to play this campaign for new coach Jose Mourinho, who reportedly told him he was no longer needed and ordered him to train away from the first team. “I’m quite surprised Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is not here to take him back”, Mourinho added.
“I like Cameron Borthwick-Jackson very much but he will go to Wolverhampton to play [on loan] because I have Luke Shaw, Marcos Rojo and Daley Blind to play left-back”.
“Right now he must be licking his lips at how life at Manchester United has started”.
“That’s not a problem for us”.
“Football is made of decisions”.
“Bastian is not speaking a lot. He gave his last statement, which he is completely free to make, in an objective way, like he did”.
“Not surrounded by helicopters waiting for somebody to arrive or leave”.
Ex-United assistant boss Mike Phelan is the man now in charge, and Mourinho has backed him to be given the job full-time. I don’t know how close we are or how far down the line it’s gone.
“More than that, there are good things in the team – things maybe more hard for you or fans to look at, but things I know we are working on and are trying to change and improve”.

The club had also just finished buying French midfielder Paul Pogba for a world transfer record fee of £89.3 million earlier this month.
