Fergie plays down Man Utd interest in Dzeko

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has cooled speculation linking Edin Dzeko with a big-money move to Old Trafford. The 23-year-old Bosnian is one of the most highly-rated young strikers in Europe, having scored 40 times in 75 Bundesliga appearances.

A host of top continental clubs are said to be interested in Dzeko, with United reportedly among after he scored Wolfsburg's goal in the German side's 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford in September.

However, even though at the weekend his assistant Mike Phelan admitted there could be interest in the player Ferguson is refusing to be drawn.

"It is an age-old story," he said.

"Every time someone does well against Manchester United we are going to buy him the next day.

"There is nothing from Manchester United at this moment concerning Edin Dzeko."
