MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly poised to turn down Arsenal's £12million offer for Chris Smalling.

Arsenal Transfer Round up - summer 2014

The centre back, who is currently on international duty with England, was believed to be on Arsene Wenger's radar in 2010 before he joined the Red Devils in a £10m deal.

Wenger is thought to be setting his sights on Smalling again, but they may struggle to land him.

Manchester Evening News claim Louis van Gaal is unlikely to sanction a transfer for Smalling.

And they suggest they will turn down a £12m bid from the Gunners should it be forthcoming.

The Red Devils, as the report goes on to state, are already thought to be compiling an ambitious transfer list which includes Borussia Dortmund defender Mats Hummels.

Van Gaal is expected to be given a bumper transfer kitty to spend on players in the summer.
