Manchester United have rejected reports they have made a bid for Tottenham striker Dimitar Berbatov.

Berbatov's agent has claimed United have made an enquiry for the Bulgarian international and that Tottenham plan to make a decision over Berbatov's future next week.

Spurs boss Martin Jol admitted earlier on Friday that he had rejected an approach from an unnamed club for Berbatov and vowed the player was going nowhere.

United have moved to deny they have made a bid for the classy forward.

No bid

"Manchester United is linked with many players in every transfer window," United chief executive David Gill told the club's official website.

"The club has categorically not made a bid for Dimitar Berbatov."

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted he did fail in a move for a striker earlier this summer and he concedes he is unlikely to bring in any more new signings before the close of the transfer window next week.

"We made an inquiry about a striker not so long ago. The club concerned would not sell and it remains that way," Ferguson told XFM.

"With a week to the transfer deadline, it would be impossible to get anyone else in now."
