Bournemouth defender Nathan Ake is refusing to read too much into talk of a possible £40 million ($53m) move to Manchester United.
The Red Devils remain in the market for centre-half additions after failing to bolster their ranks in that department over the summer.
Harry Maguire and Toby Alderweireld were considered to be top targets during the most recent window, but they ended up staying at Leicester City and Tottenham respectively.
Various other options for the Red Devils are now being mooted, including Fiorentina star Nikola Milenkovic – who Jose Mourinho caught in action during a recent outing for Serbia.
