The chances of Fernando Torres joining United this summer seem to be slipping away as Atletico's director general says he is going nowhere.

"I do not speak about the rumours in the press, but I would reiterate that Fernando Torres is not for sale," Miguel Angel Gil told skysports.com.

"Not for all the money in the world."

First team coach Javier Aguirre added: "The club has told me that El Nino (Torres' nickname) will play this season with us.

"I am preparing all our schemes with his presence in Atletico."
