Last updated : 12 August 2008 By Sam
Silva's agent, Julio Llorente, has been quoted as saying that United had tried to sign the 22-year-old Spaniard but Valencia rebuffed their offer.

"Manchester United made an offer for David Silva, but this has been turned down by Valencia," Llorente told Sky Sports.

"Silva doesn't want to play in England because he is happy at Valencia.

"His family are settled and if he was to move it would only be to another Spanish club, like Real Madrid or Barcelona.

"David Silva will start the new season at Valencia."
