United reject Otamendi bid claims

Manchester United have dismissed suggestions they have made a €35m bid for Valencia defender Nicolas Otamendi.

Reports in Spain claim Los Che have confirmed an offer for the Argentina international was received, although they refused to reveal where it came from, leading to rumours it was United.

However, according to the Daily Mirror, senior sources at Old Trafford say they have not made a bid for the 26-year-old and have no intention of doing so.

Otamendi, who has won 18 caps for his country, moved to Porto for €8m from Velez Sarsfield in summer 2010 before joining Valencia in a €12m deal before the start of this season.

The Premier League club also deny having any interest in Villarreal defender Gabriel, who has reportedly been on Arsenal’s radar, with officials saying no contact has been made.
