Sead Kolasinac to Manchester United has been one of the most entertaining transfer rumours of 2014. It's not been persistent but when the rumour has appeared it's not failed to bring a smile. In April there was talk in Germany that Manchester United were interested in making a move for the Schalke defender and that led to him telling Bosnia's Dnevni Avaz "Yes, I have an offer from Manchester. But I'll take my time with the decision."

"United scouts were at a recent friendly match between Tottenham and Schalke in London. Believe me, I only heard about it after the completion of a match.
"Club is one of the world's top. Of course... it would be great to play at Old Trafford. In football you never know nothing. Anything is possible. There's still time until the end of the transfer period and we'll see.
"I'm not here to play for a lifetime at Schalke. People go where it is better and where they can thrive."
Kolasinac is certainly confident that Manchester United still want him so it will be interesting to see how the story develops over the next couple of weeks but we get the feeling that the Schalke player will probably keep repeating these comments every few months or so.
