Young talent Jeremy Menez (Jeremy Menez) rejected offers.
Manchester and London clubs have been linked with the 16-year-old Frenchman for some time and have been watching his performances in several matches.
"Man Utd" coach Sir Alex Ferguson also admitted that his club had been actively interested in Menez and he even had gone to talk to the player's parents.
Menez is considered one of the most talented young French footballers and "Sochaux" will try its best to keep him in their team.
"Sochaux" club president Jean-Claude Plessis also stated that he would not sell this player for any amount of money.
"We will not sell Menez for anything. I am not one of those who develop young players just to sell them. Selling him to the Manchester team, I would also sell my soul with him," said Plessis.
"Jeremy gave me his word, I agreed with his father, so there are no more obstacles. On Tuesday we will go to Paris, where we will arrange all the necessary documents."
The young Frenchman, it is said, has committed his future to the club for three years.
"He was offered a three-year contract, which will make him the youngest professional footballer in France," wrote the club's official website.
