Former Liverpool and Manchester United midfielder Paul Ince has refused to reveal whether his son Thomas Ince will depart Blackpool in January.
The 20-year-old began his professional career at Liverpool, but moved to Blackpool in 2011 in search of regular first-team football.
The attacker has impressed since making the move and has scored six goals in seven games for the Seasiders this season.
Manchester United have been strongly linked with a move, but Ince told EPSN that he is keen for his son to "develop as a player" before leaving the Championship club.
Ince has three Under-21 England caps to his name.
