Atletico Madrid have warned Manchester United that star forward
Sergio Aguero will be going nowhere this summer.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has told fans he may not make many
further additions to his squad this summer after the arrivals of
Chris Smalling and Javier Hernandez.
But reports have suggested that, despite the levels of debt the
club is burdened with, United are ready to follow up their
long-standing interest in Aguero and meet the staggering £52million
release clause in his Atletico contract.

However Atletico president Enrique Cerezo has issued a hands-off
warning, telling potential bidders that the duo who inspired
the club to Europa League glory this season - striker Diego Forlan
and Aguero - "will not go."
Cerezo, speaking to Spanish daily newspaper AS, added: 'We are
not aware of any offer from Manchester United and it is typical of
the rumour mill in England. Kun (Aguero) is now concentrated on
giving his maximum at the World Cup.'

Chelsea and Real Madrid have also been linked to Argentina star
Aguero, 21.
Meanwhile, Atletico and United could also clash over Ajax
striker Luis Suarez. AS also reports that the Spaniards are lining
up a move for the United target, who has bagged 41 goals for the
Dutch club this season and will line up alongside Forlan for
Uruguay at the World Cup.
