Partizan Belgrade insists they will not be selling Manchester United target Stevan Jovetic until next summer.

The 17-year-old has emerged as one of the hottest young properties in Europe and reports suggest that Manchester United are heading the chase for his signature.

Rivals Manchester City, along with Ajax, Sampdoria and Real Madrid have also been linked with the Montenegro international, who is valued at £7million.

Nothing decided

It is claimed United are trying to tie up a deal with Partizan - but they have insisted that nothing has yet been decided.

"We must decide the pros and cons of selling Jovetic," Partizan director Gordan Petric said.

"We will decide that at the end of the season. A lot of clubs are interested in him."

Talent

Legend and now Montenegrin FA president Dejan Savicevic thinks that Jovetic would be a good signing for United.

"I am not surprised by the interest of Manchester United," he told The Sun.

"Stevan could play in any of the biggest clubs in Europe. And I think United would get him on the cheap even for £7million."
