Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has quelled speculation he is set to make a January bid for Edin Dzeko.

The Bosnian striker is interesting a host of clubs around Europe, and United were reported to be one of them.

Indeed, assistant boss Mike Phelan stated over the weekend that the Red Devils were taking a close look at the 23-year-old - who impressed against United in the UEFA Champions League this season.

United will again come up against Dzeko on Tuesday, and after he touched down in Germany ahead of the game, Ferguson was asked about his potential interest.

But the veteran Scot insisted that the interest was not as strong as first thought.

"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."
