Hooray!!!
No Old Trafford interest in
Eidur
Eidur Gudjohnsen's father and agent insists he has had no
contact with Manchester United regarding a move to Old
Trafford.
The former Chelsea forward has endured mixed success at Barcelona
this season, making only sporadic appearances and operating largely
as a reserve to Samuel Eto'o.
United are apparently keen to recruit a new striker this summer
with Louis Saha's ongoing injury troubles and Alan Smith's future
undecided.
The English champions have been strongly linked with the Iceland
international but his father, Arnor, insists Barca will not make a
decision on his future until after this weekend's La Liga
climax.
He said: "Honestly, I have not heard anything from Manchester
United. I can confirm that.
"It's only speculation. I think the club will decide many things
after the weekend and what is going to happen after the game
(against Gimnastic).
"Then, maybe you might see a clearer picture of what's going to
happen. But at this stage, nothing."
Asked whether his son would be willing to stay in Barcelona,
Gudjohnsen said: "Probably. He's very happy there.
"He hasn't played so much after Christmas, but he came in before
Christmas when Eto'o was injured and did quite well.
"So he actually wants to have another chance next season to prove
himself even more."
The forward has been ruled out of Barca's final game in Tarragona,
when they must better Real Madrid's result to have any hope of
retaining the title they have won in the last two years.
Barca announced on Friday that tests revealed Gudjohnsen has
inflamed cartilage in his right knee, keeping him out for around a
week.
