DIEGO TO STAY

Last updated : 23 October 2002 By Editor

Deportivo La Coruna's Spanish striker Diego Tristan has dismissed talk of a move to United.

The Sunday Express claimed that Tristan was looking for a move to United, but he says it just ain't so.

"No, I have not spoken to any English press outlets lately. And I have definitely not talked about Manchester United.

"The only thing I am thinking about is playing for my club. Any other reports do not concern me."

Tristan doesn't grant interviews. He only speaks at press conferences, surely another aspect of the Spaniard that Fergie would admire!

"United are a team who I like. I know that their fans like me after our games in the Champions League last year.

"For me they are one of the favourites to be in contention at the end (of the Champions League)."
