Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe says he is taking reports linking Callum Wilson with a move to Manchester United "with a pinch of salt".
The forward, included in Gareth Southgate's England squad for this month's European Qualifiers, is believed to be high among United's targets as manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looks to add a new forward to his squad.
Congratulating Willson on his international inclusion, Howe said: "Callum deserves his call-up. I think he's in confident mood and it's a great sign for us.
"We've been focusing on his performances and making sure that he delivers what we need for the team and then, on the back of that, we've also said we feel he will score goals if he gets the finer points of his performance right.
"I think he has, and now I think he's in confident mood.
"It's a great sign for us and for him."
Asked whether he is surprised at Wilson being on United's radar ahead of the January transfer window, Howe said: "I take it with a pinch of salt, to be honest, at this stage in the season.
"There's nothing that we can do or Callum can do, other than perform well, that influences rumours.
"He's just got to focus on his next game and give his best for this club."
