The father of Borussia Dortmund defender Mats Hummels has cooled rumours linking his son with Manchester United.

Throughout the past few weeks, speculation has heightened that Hummels would depart to United for £35million but the player has insisted he will see the season through.

Speaking to Sky News in Germany, Hermann Hummels, the World Cup winner's father and agent, said that the centre back will not leave.

"There is nothing to it," he said when asked about a potential January transfer.
