Ajax striker Brian Brobbey has dismissed recent stories linking him with a move to Manchester United.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 21-year-old Dutch marksman is enjoying a prolific Eredivisie campaign, having bagged 11 goals across 17 appearances.<\/p>\n\n

Brobbey subsequently finds himself two short of last season’s total, which remains his best return for the Dutch giants.<\/p>\n

A graduate of the club’s esteemed youth set-up, all of his goals have come from open play, and the one-time Netherlands international has the league’s third-highest npxG (non-penalty expected goals) with 11.88.<\/p>\n

In the race to be crowned as this season’s top scorer, Brobbey is currently fourth in the standings behind Luuk de Jong (15), Vangelis Pavlidis (19) and Santiago Gim\u00e9nez (19).<\/p>\n

Brobbey is also on a hot streak, netting in five straight league outings, the best such run of his Eredivisie career.<\/p>\n

It is a journey that began under current Red Devils<\/em> boss Erik Ten Tag, but a reunion is unlikely to happen anytime soon, with Brobbey revealing they are no longer in contact.<\/p>\n
