Scott Twine transfer latest as MK Dons confirm bids and set out stance amid Burnley interest

MK Dons boss Liam Manning says the club will not be selling star man Scott Twine on the cheap.

Burnley are keen on the attacking midfielder and have reportedly made a £4million offer for the 22-year-old who starred in League One last season. Hull City are another club linked with a move for the forward and Manning, while confirming the bids, said nothing had matched his or the club's valuation of the player.

Twine scored 20 times for the Dons last term while adding 13 assists and was crowned the third tier player of the year in a side that narrowly missed out on automatic promotion before losing in the play-off semi-finals. And Manning, speaking to Three Counties Radio, said a deal would only be done if the price was right.

He said: "Naturally, you're going to get that interest, obviously, given how well he did (last season). He was the League One Player of the Year but, as it stands, we have not had a bid that meets our valuation of him.

"There's obviously interest in him, but we're in a good, strong position where we can be quite strong in the valuation we hold and expect for him. It's like I said a little while ago - if somebody's journey goes quicker than the team's and it's a fair deal for the club and a fair deal for the player, then it's something that you look at.

"But, as it stands, we know there's interest, but there's not been a bid that meets our valuation. There have been a couple of bids, but they're not where they need to be yet."

Manning also gave Twine a strong character reference for how he has handled himself upon his return to training with the speculation ongoing, adding: "It sums him up as a person. He's in here working. He did the testing like everybody and that comes down to the culture here.
