Hull boss Marco Silva rules out exit for Andrew Robertson on deadline day

Hull manager Marco Silva will not allow full-back Andrew Robertson to leave the club before the January transfer window closes.

Burnley had been linked with a £10 million move for the Scotland international, with Robertson tipped to follow fellow high-profile players Robert Snodgrass and Jake Livermore out of the KCOM Stadium this month.

But Silva -- who bolstered their defensive options with the signing of Andrea Ranocchia from Inter Milan on Tuesday -- insists Robertson will not be leaving, with the left-back set to feature at Manchester United on Wednesday night.

"He's our player, he's an important player for us and in this moment I'm thinking to prepare Robertson to play [against United]," he said.
