SOUTHEND United manager Phil Brown has no interest in selling striker Noel Hunt.

Reports north of the border have linked the forward with a return to Scottish Premiership strugglers Dundee United.

But Brown wants Hunt to stay with the Shrimpers.

“There has been no offer for Noel but he won’t be going anywhere unless a completely crazy bid comes in,” said Brown.

“We want to enhance our striking options not detract from them and we certainly don’t want Noel to go anywhere.”

Hunt, who has scored four times in 15 appearances for Blues this term, spent two seasons with Dundee United at the start of his career bagging 28 goals in 75 games.
