Fulham have confirmed that Manchester United have made enquiries about striker Louis Saha. Saha admitted on Monday he would relish a move to Old Trafford, but Fulham insist he is not for sale.
"There have been unsolicited and unwelcome enquiries from a number of clubs, including Manchester United," said a club statement.
"It has been made clear to those clubs that Fulham FC does not wish to, and has no financial requirement, to sell."
Fulham manager Chris Coleman said Saha would leave the club "over my dead body".
"I'm not surprised by all the interest that has been shown in Louis," Coleman said.
"He's a terrific player but he will he be leaving this club over my dead body - especially halfway through the season.
"We're doing well and he's a big part of that success, so it doesn't matter what club comes in for him, we don't want him to go. "He's invaluable to the club. Even if we got �20m for him we wouldn't sell."
Chairman Mohamed Al Fayed had told Coleman that he does not need to sell players, and the club's chief executive Jim Hone backed up that view.
"Media speculation surrounding any player can become unsettling and is not welcome," he said.
"Louis is very much part of our future and is simply not for sale at this stage."
The Frenchman has scored 10 goals for Fulham, and on Tuesday said a move to United would be "a dream".
Saha, who has two years left on his contract, has so far refused to accept a new deal with Fulham.
