Arsenal captain Thomas Vermaelen has dismissed speculation linking him with a move to Manchester United.
New United boss Louis van Gaal is reportedly keen on the defender who is currently on World Cup duty with Belgium.
Vermaelen has just one year left on his contract at the Emirates and despite spending most of last season on the substitutes bench, he insists he has still not made a decision over his future.
I know there has been a lot of talk and a lot of rumours but the only thing I can say is that it's not true.
He told Sky Sports News: "I know there has been a lot of talk and a lot of rumours but the only thing I can say is that it's not true.
"Everybody understands my situation at Arsenal and that I have one year left.

Vermaelen refused to be drawn on whether he has held talks with Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger about his future at the club.
He added: "We talk a lot when I am at Arsenal but it's not what I am going to discuss here, it is something you are going to have to ask him."
