Claudio Ranieri is relaxed about reports linking Danny Drinkwater with Manchester United and says Leicester City has no interested in selling him.

Drinkwater, 26, has been linked with a return to United, whom he left in 2012, despite him signing a new long-term contract with the Premier League champions this summer.

Leicester plays United this Saturday.

"I'm very surprised because often it happens one month before the market and not now," said Ranieri.

"[Drinkwater] signed a new contract and everything is normal. I think he doesn't have a clause. We don't want to sell anybody. We want to keep our players.

"When I have a player who is wanted by big teams I am very happy because that means we are working very well.

"Sometimes I say maybe the newspaper doesn't have some news and they write some news -- this is OK. That is my idea."
