    West Ham manager Slaven Bilic says Dimitri Payet will not train with the club after the Frenchman said he wants to leave.

    "We have said hundreds of times we don't want to sell our best players. He's definitely our best player," added Bilic. 

    "That's why we gave him a long contract, and then a new contract four months later. 

    "I phoned him with that and he refused to play for us. I have a team to manage. 

    "He's probably been tapped up by some clubs or whatever. That is usual at this time of year. 

    "It started 10 days ago when the window started.

    "But until he changes his attitude he is out of the team and he's not going to train with us. But we are not going to sell him, not whatsover."

    The big news to come out of Slaven Bilic's news conference this morning is that Dimitri Payet has told the club he does not want to play for them.

    "We have to bounce back from the Man City defeat and make up for it on Saturday. It is a massive game," he said.

    "We want to pick up points and be safe as soon as possible. We have a chance on Saturday to make the gap bigger with teams below us."

    Manchester United have triggered a clause in Marouane Fellaini's contract that will keep him at Old Trafford until 2018.

    Fellaini signed a four-year deal with the option of a further year when he joined from Everton for £27.5m in 2013.

    United boss Jose Mourinho has activated the option despite uncertainty over the 29-year-old midfielder's future.

    Fellaini was booed by his own fans last month but scored in the EFL Cup semi-final win against Hull on Tuesday.
