International star discusses meeting with Man Utd: Chelsea and Arsenal also interested
ROMA'S sought-after defender Kostas Manolas has responded to Manchester United's reported interest.
Kostas Manolas has no knowledge of Manchester United talks
The Greece international is also reportedly a target for Premier League rivals Arsenal and Chelsea, who have both been linked with £30million bids in the summer.
Express Sport understands Antonio Conte wants Manolas to replace Blues captain John Terry, while The Mirror report the Gunners are keen on the 24-year-old after missing out on him in 2014.
Sky Sport Italia say United had a meeting with Manolas' agent over the weekend about a potential £24m deal, but the former Olympiakos defender claims he knows nothing of their interest.
United have been forced to use midfielder Daley Blind in the heart of defence this season due to a number of injuries and manager Louis van Gaal is thought to be desperate to land a new centre-back when the transfer window reopens.
Kostas Manolas has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League
But Manolas, who cost Roma £14m two years ago, insists he is unaware of any meeting, saying: "Manchester United? I know nothing, my agent tells me nothing.
"I have to be focused on Roma, I still have three years on my contract. After the end of the season we will look at things together with Roma."
