United are under no financial pressure to sell one oftheir star assets, meaning he is only likely to leave Glanford Park if he insists on a move.
"We are trying our best to bring him to Burnley and we want to agree a transfer fee with Scunthorpe," said Coyle.
"Basically that's where we are at this moment. Whether we re-visit the situation we will have to wait and see.
"We won't ever reveal in public how much we offer for a player, but if Scunthorpe say it is not enough then we can do one of two things.
"We can either increase our offer or we can turn our attentions elsewhere. He's a player I like. He's at a very good age and he's proved at this level that he can score goals."
