For the second tome this summer the Hammer of last season is being linked with a move away from the club – the first one named of course being Manchester United.
And just as that has been proved false, the suggestions that he could now swap the Manchester idea for a Milan plan will be too.

A highly placed insider said: “This is 100% not true, Marko will not be sold under any circumstances whatsoever.”
