'A global giant' - Highly-rated midfielder Luka Sucic plays up to Man Utd transfer links despite insistence he is happy at Real Sociedad

Europa League

Manchester United

Lyon

LaLiga

Villarreal

Real Sociedad

<p>The 22-year-old is one of many players to be linked with United ahead of the January transfer window, and now the midfielder has addressed those rumours head on. The Croatia international called the Red Devils a "global giant" but stressed he is more than content at Real Sociedad.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>He told <a href="https://sportske.jutarnji.hr/sn/nogomet/primera/sucicu-slijedi-transfer-karijere-vatreni-ekskluzivno-za-sn-to-je-svjetski-gorostas-ali-cvrsto-sam-na-zemlji-15537215" target="_blank"><em>Sportske Novosti</em></a>: "I was told of such a possibility that appeared in public. I read about it myself later. No one called me from England. I’m contracted to Real Sociedad, where I feel good, nice, where I fit in perfectly. Did the clubs talk? I don’t know, and I’m not bothered by this topic. There have been stories like this before, and there will be again."</p><p>When asked if he likes the United links, he replied: "United are a global giant, a respected giant in the world of football. Of course, I like my name associated with the Red Devils, but I’m keeping my feet on the ground."</p>

WHAT LUKA SUCIC SAID

<p>While United are one of the biggest teams in the world, they are <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-rubem-amorim-sacked-struggling-red-devils-slump/blt62dd30f7e1c8ed65" target="_blank">not a global force on the pitch at present</a>. Ruben Amorim's side are 14th in the Premier League and look a disjointed unit. Former Red Bull Salzburg star Sucic could improve their midfield but he would not go on the cheap as he signed a five-year deal with La Real until 2029 earlier this year.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speculation over Sucic's future may mount as the January transfer window nears but next up, he will focus on his side's trip to Ponferradina in the Copa del Rey on Sunday.</p>
