I am French before everything - Matuidi refuses to discuss United

France midfielder Blaise Matuidi refused to discuss reports linking him with a move to Manchester United as the host nation get ready for Sunday's final at Euro 2016.

Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Matuidi has been a mainstay of Didier Deschamps' midfield during the competition and helped Les Bleus to a 2-0 win over world champions Germany in Marseille with a typically committed display.

Before the match, there was increased speculation that new United boss Jose Mourinho is keen to add Matuidi to an impressive haul of close season signings that already includes Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

Asked whether it was a compliment to be in Mourinho's thoughts, Matuidi refused to further fan the flames during a media briefing at France's Clairefontaine training base.

"I am French before everything. It is not the time for that question. I am 100 per cent for the Euro and concentrating on it," he said.
