United, along with Premier League rivals Stoke City, Southampton and Arsenal, have all been linked with the 21-year-old this summer.
However, Pardew says the reports are wide of the mark and United have other priorities.
However, a centre-back (and a striker) remain top of Pardew’s priority list this summer.
Fans, though, are beginning to get anxious over a lack of progress in the transfer market at Newcastle, and we reported last month that Mike Ashley will not break the bank to back his manager this summer.
Pardew is on borrowed time at t James' Park, with Ashley still not convinced he has spent his January transfer funds wisely.
Rumour has it Pardew will be given six weeks into the new season to prove he is the man for the job.
