West Ham United owner David Gold has confirmed via his Twitter account that the club have no plans to sell striker Diafra Sakho, despite interest from Manchester United.

The revelation comes after the Daily Mail claimed the Red Devils had expressed an interest in the former Metz man, who the Hammers apparently value at £15 million.

Newcastle United have also been linked with a move for the Senegal international, who scored 12 goals in all competitions last season after joining for £3.5 million from Metz.
