Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick is keen for goalkeeper Dean Henderson and midfielder Donny van de Beek to stay at the club.
Van de Beek, who moved from Ajax to a United in 2020, has been constantly linked with a move away from Old Trafford following his lack of Premier League game time this season, with reports suggesting that several top clubs are eager to seal his signature if he cuts ties with the Premier League giants.
However, Rangnick says Man United are not going to listen to any offers for the Dutch international.
"I'm glad to have him in the squad," Rangnick said in a new conference. "He came on for the last 15, 20 minutes against Villa in the cup game and he did well.
"I had a conversation with him a few weeks ago after training... I told him that I would advise him to stay until the end of the season. And then, of course, with the World Cup coming up in the winter, he wants to play in the World Cup for his country.
"I can understand his wish and desire to play - on the other hand, we have a lot of competition in our squad exactly in those positions."
Henderson, who was tipped to become the main man between the sticks, is also seeking pastures new after losing the battle to David de Gea to be United's main goalkeeper.
"I told him that I would like him to stay because he is a fantastic goalkeeper," said the German. "I would really like to have him on board. I can fully understand that he wants to play because he is at an age where, as a goalkeeper, you should regularly play, but on the other hand, we are still in three competitions, and therefore we need the two and three goalkeepers we have right now.
"I told him that I can understand his desire to get regular game time as a number one elsewhere in the Premier League."
