**Match/Result:** N/A — transfer news; no fixture played.
LONDON — West Ham forward Jarrod Bowen has committed his future to the club following its relegation from the Premier League, dealing a setback to Manchester United's interest in the 29-year-old, the Manchester Evening News reported on Friday.
Bowen has outlined his commitment to West Ham amid speculation over a potential summer move to Old Trafford, and has reportedly signed fresh terms with the Hammers, according to the Manchester Evening News. He also featured in West Ham's new kit launch, MSN reported.
Sky Sports reported on Friday that Bowen intends to remain at West Ham despite relegation and aims to help the club win promotion from the Championship. The forward attracted interest from several clubs during the close season, Sky Sports said.
Manchester United had been linked with a move for the England international as part of a squad rebuild. The club has not commented on the report.
## Wider Context
West Ham's drop to the Championship reshapes the summer transfer market, with established top-flight targets reassessing their options. Bowen's decision keeps a key attacker in east London and removes a name from Manchester United's shortlist.
