Manchester United £60m target Radja 'Il Ninja' Nainggolan set to disappoint Jose Mourinho and stay at Roma senior club official confirms

• Experienced Belgium international midfielder to continue his career in Rome
• Former Piacenza and Cagliari player had been linked with move to Manchester
• Antwerp-born star nicknamed 'Il Ninja' featured on Jose Mourinho's 'wish-list' 
• Roma's sporting director appears to rule-out transfer to the Premier League

Reported Manchester United target Radja Nainggolan is staying with Roma, according to the Italian club's new sporting director Ramon Rodriguez Verdejo, better known as Monchi.

Nainggolan has been heavily linked with United as well as various other clubs, including Chelsea and Inter Milan, but the chances of the 29-year-old Belgium international leaving Roma this summer now look to be over.

Monchi, who swapped Sevilla for Roma this summer after 17 years as sporting director at Los Rojiblancos, was quizzed on whether Nainggolan would remain with the Giallorossi at a press conference to present new signing Maxime Gonalons on Saturday.
