Man United and Arsenal target to remain at Udinese for another year

Manchester United and Arsenal target Luis Muriel will not leave Udinese for another year at least, according to his agent.

talkSPORT revealed on Wednesday that the 21-year-old Colombian had forced his way on to the radar of a number of Europe's top clubs with his admirable performances in a struggling Lecce side, where he has been sent on loan.

The forward has hit seven Serie A goals in 24 appearances which has encouraged Udinese to reconsider the youngster's future after it was believed he would be moved on.

Speaking to Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, Mauro Cesarini, the player's agent, said: "In normal circumstances he will wear the shirt of Udinese next season.

"There are many rumours about English and Italian clubs but I have not had formal contact with any club.

"I think he needs to mature a year and his immediate future should be the Udinese although the club will have the last word."
