Thibaut Courtois 'rejects Manchester United switch'

Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has reportedly made it clear that he would not be interested in a move to Manchester United in this summer's transfer window.

United are seemingly facing a fresh fight to keep hold of David de Gea, with Madrid again being linked with the 28-year-old.

De Gea has less than 18 months left to run on his existing contract, with United determined to sign the Spain international to a new long-term deal as soon as possible.

The goalkeeper's wage demands are still believed to be an issue, though, and talk of a move to the Bernabeu has resurfaced following Zinedine Zidane's return to the Spanish giants.

According to The Sun, Madrid offered United the chance to sign Courtois as a part of the deal, but the Belgium international has snubbed a return to English football.

Courtois only joined Madrid from Chelsea in 2017, but was dropped for Zidane's first game in charge against Real Betis last weekend, leading to suggestions of a summer exit.
