Crystal Palace No.7 Ismaila Sarr has now addressed reports which claim Manchester United want to take the attacker from Selhurst Park.
A story from Foot Mercato in France stated that Manchester United have opened talks over a move for the Senegal international, also mentioning a recent alleged quote from the former Watford man which claims he said a move to Old Trafford is a dream.
We Are Palace can find no concrete proof that this quote is genuine.
Sarr has now given an actual comment to APS which will make Crystal Palace fans feel a lot better about the situation.

Ismaila Sarr honours his contract with Crystal Palace
After netting 21 goals in 45 appearances for us last season, before going on to score four goals in four games at the World Cup, the Senegalese forward’s stock is high right now.
It is no surprise Manchester United are interested, but Sarr has now said that no exit will materialise unless Crystal Palace say so.
The 28-year-old said: “I have a three-year contract with Crystal Palace. It’s up to them to decide. Football is my job, and I enjoy it.”
Sarr would be a fool to leave Selhurst Park immediately after the greatest goal-scoring campaign of his career.
Michael Carrick is unlikely to view the man born in Saint-Louis as a regular in the starting XI considering he already has Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, Amad Diallo and Benjamin Sesko in his attacking department.
Contrastingly, at Selhurst Park, Sarr is a talismanic figure, one who finished top scorer for the Eagles last term and always seems to step up when needed.
With Maxence Lacroix seemingly heading to Chelsea at some point this summer, it would be devastating for Pierre Sage if he lost the Senegal international as well – it simply cannot be allowed to happen.
How much is Maxence Lacroix worth? 🤔
The Frenchman still has three years left on his contract 📝
