Ansu Fati's Barcelona stance confirmed amid Manchester United transfer links

Barcelona youngster Ansu Fati is 'guaranteed' to stay at the Camp Nou despite being linked with a move to Manchester United.

The Reds have been credited with an interest in the 20-year-old amid widespread speculation but, according to his father Bori, the winger will not be leaving the Catalonian club. In an interview with journalist Toni Juanmarti, he said: "Ansu will stay at Barcelona. That’s for sure. "He stays, it’s guaranteed."

Fati's dad had fuelled speculation about his son's future in a recent interview. Speaking to Spanish outlet COPE, Fati Snr slammed the La Liga giants for their use of his son.

"As a father I am angry, yes, like any father," he said. "Because seeing Ansu play so little makes you a little angry. I tell them that we deserve much more.

"Ansu when he played before getting injured, there was [Lionel] Messi, [Luis] Suarez, [Ousmane] Dembele, [Antoine] Griezmann. It bothers me that they give him a minute, two minutes or three minutes.

"The forwards that are there are phenomenal, but we are talking about Ansu Fati, from the Spanish national team, he is not just any boy. He’s a boy who left La Masia.

"If you don’t give him that, what are you going to give him? Ansu deserves much more, we’re talking about Barcelona’s number 10."
