Erik ten Hag hit back at reports that all-but three Manchester United players are up for sale this summer.
It was reported this week that Alejandro Garnacho, Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Hojlund are the only untouchable players in the Red Devils' squad.

The reports claimed United would be willing to listen to offers for any other player in the squad.
Ten Hag was asked about the reports in his press conference and brandished them 'untrue'.
"It's a joke," he said. "As long as I've worked here, every summer, every window, I think 200 players are getting interest from Manchester United. We did some research. Untrue.
"And also every summer we sell all of the players in our squad, so you (in the media) are making all of the headlines, which is untrue.

"I think be calm and also take some responsibility when you make such a headline. Think, find a good source if there is some truth in it and this is totally crap."
Bruno Fernandes became the first Man United player to speak about his future, insisting that he was happy at Old Trafford.
He did hint that he may consider his future at the club after Euro 2024.
Marcus Rashford was reported to be among those up for sale and the misfiring forward will again be absent when United return to Premier League action at Crystal Palace on Monday.

talkSPORT understands, however, that the club are not actively trying to push Rashford out the door.
"I can't tell (when he will be back)," Ten Hag said. "So, it was last week absence against Sheffield, after Coventry, so far his issue hasn't healed."

Rashford joins the likes of Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw and Raphael Varane on the sidelines for a match that Scott McTominay and Bruno Fernandes are doubts for.
"Scott didn't train so far this week, but I expect him back in training on Saturday and then we have to see up to the game if he's 100 per cent available or for a part of the game," Ten Hag said.
"After the game (against Burnley last weekend) we had an issue with Bruno, so he is a doubt for Monday. But he will fight to get into this game. We all know Bruno, never rule him out for any game, so he is giving his best to be available.
"Jonny Evans returned today for team training and then we will see. Tomorrow we are off and then two days until the game. Anthony Martial was partly in the team training."
