Bayer Leverkusen rule out January move for Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov

The Bulgarian is not a transfer target for his former side this month, while the player's agent also states the forward will not be leaving Old Trafford for the Bundesliga

Dimitar Berbatov - Manchester United

Despite being United's top scorer last term with 20 league goals, the former Bulgarian international has struggled to hold down a regular spot in Sir Alex Ferguson's first-team this season, seemingly falling behind Wayne Rooney, Javier Hernandez and Danny Welbeck in the attacking pecking order.

Berbatov has been heavily linked with a move back to the club he joined Tottenham from in 2006, but there is no truth in the reports according to Wolfgang Holzhauser, a club official.
“I have been reading that Dimitar [Berbatov] would have flown over to Frankfurt and that we would be in for him there to negotiate a transfer. That was interesting news to me," Holzhauser told Express.
"I am clearly out to never say never, but this is nothing we are looking forward to at this point in time.
"And from today's point of view I would also say we are not after him in the coming summer.”
The final nail in the coffin over any reported departure from England this month was delivered by Berbatov’s agent, Emil Danchev, who also refuted any such move.
“Usually I don't comment on speculation from the press. They can say whatever they want," Danchev told Sovetski Sport.
"But the only thing that I can say is that at this moment the eventual transfer of Berbatov to another club is not on the agenda."
