Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has ruled out a possible move for AC Milan's Brazilian midfielder Kaka.

The samba sensation has reportedly been a target for the Premier League leaders, should Cristiano Ronaldo leave for Real Madrid this summer.

The move would prove a sting in the tail for local rivals Manchester City, who tried to sign Kaka in the January transfer window, but Ferguson insists United will simply not pay over the odds.

"What did Manchester City bid for Kaka - £100m? Do you think this club would pay £100m for a player? It's nice talk," he told the Daily Star on Sunday.

Meanwhile, speculation over Carlos Tevez's future is mounting.

The Argentine is yet to sign a permanent deal with the club as his two year loan deal expires this summer, but Ferguson hasn't given up hope of retaining the striker.

"I don't have a player to bring in there on the horizon. No one jumps out and we are still hoping to conclude our negotiations with his agent," he said.
