Spain Under-21 winger Dani Olmo has responded to rumours circulating that suggest that he is on the radar of Manchester United. The Spaniard insisted that he knew nothing about the rumours, but did not seem too fazed by them.

Olmo had a fantastic Under-21 European Championships, where he impressed in the entire tournament. The youngster was even adjudged the man of the final match, after he scored in Spain's 2-1 victory over Germany. Olmo plays for Dinamo Zagreb and is coming off the back of a fantastic domestic season, scoring 12 goals and registering 9 assists.

Speaking to Croatian News outlet T-Portal, the Spaniard had this to say:

Honestly, I know absolutely nothing about it.

However, I’m not burdened by this.

He did reveal the kind of club that he would like to sign for this summer, noting -

Very simple – (I want) a club where I will play. Because I am still young and for me it is most important that I have minutes.
