West Ham United defender Issa Diop has said he is focused on his career in the capital, despite reported interest from Manchester United.
Speaking to Foot Mercato (h/t Metro), Diop explained he is concentrated on his development under Hammers coach Manuel Pellegrini after Red Devils manager Jose Mourinho publicly praised the centre-back.
When asked if he was flattered by Mourinho's compliments of him, Diop said: "Yes, of course it's nice. But my coach is Manuel Pellegrini (laughs). So it's his opinion that interests me the most. He advises me to continue to progress.
