Tottenham star Eric Dier has broken his silence following rumours linking him with a move to Manchester United during the summer transfer window.
Jose Mourinho was desperate to bring a midfielder to Old Trafford ahead of the 2017/18 campaign and completed the £40million signing of Nemanja Matic from Chelsea at the end of July.
However, England international Dier has been on United’s radar since January and the Red Devils are understood to have had a £50m offer rejected by Spurs.
On the recent speculation, the 23-year-old said: ‘I think it’s best if footballers worry about playing football.
‘I take the philosophy that if I worry about the football everything else will take care of itself.’

Back in July, Mourinho praised Spurs for keeping hold of top stars such as Dier after United reportedly had two bids turned down for the midfielder.
‘Everybody speaks about the dimension of the investment at Manchester City but there is another team that I feel the dimension of their investment is also phenomenal – Tottenham,’ he said.
‘Until now they spent zero pounds, right? They keep everybody they want to keep.
