The agent of Ajax star Luis Suarez has stonewalled talk of interest from Manchester United.

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson regards the Uruguayan highly, but will not move for the striker in January as he wants to show faith in centre-forward Dimitar Berbatov.

Suarez's agent, Daniel Fonseca, told calciomercato.it: "The British press says Suarez is a step further from Manchester United? I wouldn't know, I haven't received any contact.

"Either way, Luis is a player liked by many clubs.

"Is it true his Dutch club want €50 million for him? I don't know, you'll have to ask them."
