AS Roma are not interested in selling Tammy Abraham this summer despite Manchester United interest, according to reports.
The England international bagged a brace in Roma's 3-0 victory over city rivals Lazio prior to the international break, which took him to 23 goals in all competitions for Jose Mourinho's side during his debut season in the Italian capital. His hot streak led to reports that claimed United were interested in a transfer.
Original reports suggested that a £100m price-tag had been slapped Abraham. However, Gazzetta dello Sport have since quashed these reports, confirming Roma's intent to retain his services.

United are looking to add reinforcements to their forward department this summer. Edinson Cavani is set to leave Old Trafford upon the expiry of his contract, while Cristiano Ronaldo will be 38 by the end of next season should he stay.
Roma's reported stubbornness will now mean any interest from United will have to be directed elsewhere. Benfica's Darwin Nunez and Borussia Dortmund's Erling Haaland have been linked in recent weeks.
One player destined for a United departure this summer is Jesse Lingard. The United academy graduate is out of contract in the summer.
During the early days of the international break, Lingard enjoyed downtime in Milan and met up with former Reds attack Zlatan Ibrahimovic. As a result, reports in Italy have suggested that the 29-year-old is being considered as an option for Stefano Pioli's Milan side.
PianetaMilan, via Sempre Milan, has reported that Lingard is being weighed up as a potential alternative to Sassuolo star Domenico Berardi. The Italian will turn 28 this year and the Serie A challengers are contemplating whether he is worth €35m (£29m).
