Manchester City's Chloe Kelly has turned down the chance to move to Brighton – with her preference to stay in Manchester as United work on a Deadline Day deal to sign the England international.

Kelly has been disappointed she has not been able to leave City yet this month - and released a strongly-worded post on social media on Wednesday about her future.

Sky Sports News understands that City have only received one suitable bid for Kelly so far and that has been with her to consider ahead of the window closing.

One source has told us that Brighton have submitted a loan offer, however she is understood to be aware City would demand more from a bid by United.
