Jasper Cillessen will not be replacing David de Gea at Manchester United, Ajax sporting director Marc Overmars has said.
Louis van Gaal is expected to be in the market for a new goalkeeper this summer, with current number one de Gea expected to join Real Madrid.
The United manager confirmed last week that the club have drawn up a shortlist of players to replace the Spaniard, and reports in the Netherlands have suggested that the Dutch stopper could be near the top of the list.
However, former Arsenal winger Overmars has warned his former rivals that they will not be able to prise Cillessen away from Amsterdam. He told De Telegraaf: “He is not for sale. Not even for 25 million Euros.”

A move to Old Trafford would represent a reunion for the 26-year-old keeper and his former national team manager, though Cillessen may take some time to forgive the United manager for his decision to replace him with Tim Krul before the World Cup quarter final penalty shoot-out with Costa Rica.
United have also been linked with Petr Cech and Asmir Begovic, though former Old Trafford keeper Raimond van der Gouw has said that current backup Victor Valdes is the "perfect" replacement if de Gea returns to Madrid.
