United not looking to sign Chelsea’s Zouma

Manchester United are denying any interest in Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma.

Reports in Zouma’s native France claimed on Wednesday that United were looking to buy him ahead of the transfer deadline.

Everton have expressed an interest in taking Zouma, 23, on a season-long loan.

He spent last season on loan with Stoke City and is well down the pecking order of centre-backs at Chelsea.
