Dundee United: We've Received No Bids - Ipswich Town News

Dundee United have released a statement insisting that they’ve had no bids for any of their players but conceding that if they received “substantial offers” they would have to be considered. Earlier today, the Blues were linked with central defender Gavin Gunning, while Swansea were claimed to be targeting winger Gary Mackay-Steven and striker Johnny Russell was also said to be receiving interest.

While some sources in Scotland continue to report that the SPL club has received enquiries for some or all of those players, the Terrors statement reads: "Dundee United are disappointed to read what we regard as unsubstantiated rumours in today's media relating to our players. We have received no formal offers for any of our players and indeed would not welcome any such offers.

"We are realistic of the current financial climate within football and if substantial offers for any of our players which exceed the valuations we place on our players were submitted, we would consider such bids.

"The manager is currently engaged in attempting to enhance the squad for next season after another highly successful campaign and each of our contracted players are seen as integral parts of our future squad. We remain committed to providing our loyal supporters with the best possible team on the park.”
