Boca Juniors defender Aaron Anselmino has dealt a blow to Manchester United by insisting he wants to remain at the club.

Reports emerged over the weekend that United were ready to activate a £18.5million release clause in the defender’s contract.

Anselmino, 18, has played just seven times for the Argentine giants but he’s already attracted attention from a host of top European clubs.

Boca, for their part, are aware that the defender is a hot prospect and agreed a new deal with him in 2023 that included a release clause of £18.5m.

United would reportedly be willing to loan the defender out for a duration before taking him to Old Trafford.

That opens up the possibility that Anselmino could even remain at Boca, even if United triggered his release clause.

But the teenager insists he wants to stay in Argentina.

‘My head is here at Boca,’ said Anselmino.

‘I want to win titles here and win titles with this shirt. Nothing has come from outside.’
