Real Madrid loanee Joselu has no plans of moving to Manchester United during the summer transfer window.

The Spaniard joined Los Blancos on loan from Espanyol last summer. He has been impressive with 14 goals and three assists.

His form has caught the eye of United and a recent report claimed that the hierarchy were in contact with his representatives.

However, that is unlikely to change the striker's plans. Madrid have the option to buy him by mutual consent for around €1.5m.

They are expected to trigger the buy clause despite the expected arrival of Kylian Mbappe on a free transfer this summer.

The decision is a huge blow for the Red Devils, who are eyeing an experienced marksman to provide back-up next term.

Rasmus Hojlund is the undisputed starter for United up front, but the club want a solid deputy in the squad ahead of next season.

Anthony Martial has not played for months after a groin surgery. He is expected to leave United when his contract expires on June 30.
