Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has reportedly rejected a host of loan offers for young midfielder Robbie Brady.

The 20-year-old has been strongly linked with Wolverhampton Wanderers in recent weeks, but it is understood that he will not be allowed to depart United this season.

Brady impressed during a loan spell at Hull City last season, but Ferguson is not prepared to sanction another temporary move.

According to Sky Sports News, the Irishman is regarded as part of the first-team squad at Old Trafford and could feature in the coming weeks.

The youngster has made two appearances for Republic of Ireland.
