Sporting star's agent cools talk of Manchester United move
Ricky van Wolfswinkel's agent has played down talk of a possible move to Manchester United.
The Dutch striker has been a revelation for Sporting Lisbon since joining them from Utrecht in the summer and he has netted six goals in seven appearances this season.
Manchester United have watched him closely and the club has a strong relationship with Sporting, following the deals that took Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani to Old Trafford.
Coach Mike Phelan recently claimed United were keeping tabs on the 22-year-old, with Sir Alex Ferguson weighing up a January move.
But van Wolfswinkel's agent Louis Laros says although the striker is in good form, there has yet to be contact with Old Trafford.
Laros said: "Ricky is doing very well with Sporting and is very happy with the club, the city and the supporters. For him everything is perfect, for me this rumour is not it is not a surprise but I have not spoken with anybody.
"It is normal the kid is linked with other clubs because people watch the Portuguese Liga and as always club scouts check on the best men and today Ricky is one of the best forwards."
