Eidur Gudjohnsen's agent has played down talk linking the player with a move to Manchester United.

The Barcelona forward has been linked with a move away from Camp Nou of late, having fallen down the pecking order of Frank Rijkaard's plans.

Reports emanating from Spain have suggested Manchester United are lining up a move for the Icelandic international in the summer.

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is thought to be a big admirer of Gudjohnsen and is believed to be willing to bring the former Chelsea man back to England.

However, the player's father and agent Arnor Gudjohnsen insists the former Bolton man is determined to fight for his place and prove himself at Camp Nou.

"I know nothing about [interest from Manchester United]," Gudjohnsen told the popular website.

"It has not been a good moment for Eidur as he not been getting a lot of chances to play games.

"I have heard nothing from Barcelona regarding Eidur's future.

"He is determined to prove himself at Barcelona and he wants to give it 100 per cent to be a success."

Barcelona's sport director Txiki Beguiristain insists the club will wait until the end of the season before making any decisions on possible transfers.

"Until the end of the season we are not in a position to touch the subject of exits or arrivals," Beguiristain told the website.

Eidur in dark over United reports

Eidur Gudjohnsen has exclusively told one of the popular sports website that he knows nothing of any reported interest from Manchester United.

The Barcelona star has been strongly linked with a possible return to England in recent weeks, with United reportedly looking to lure the former Chelsea man to Old Trafford.

Since his switch from West London in the summer, Gudjohnsen has failed to hold down a regular place with Los Cules and has just five goals to show for his efforts to date.

However, the Icelandic international has played down talk of a possible return to the Premiership, stating he has had no contact with United and that his future remains in Catalunya.

"I have not spoken with anyone direct to United and I only know the news from the papers," Gudjohnsen told one of the popular sports website.

"Barcelona have never spoken to me about this subject because I believe my future at the club has not changed."

Barca boast a deep reserve of attacking talent with world stars such as Ronaldinho, Lionel Messi and Samuel Eto'o restricting Gudjohnsen's opportunities at Camp Nou.

However, the former Chelsea star is still hoping to force his way into coach Frank Rijkaard's plans by working hard for the Liga champions.

"My desire to play more often is normal, but that is very complicated in a club like Barcelona," Gudjohnsen added.

"In this question I need to make the most of every chance with the coach.

"I want to be a total help to coach Rijkaard. With the confidence of the boss it is always possible for a player to be a success."

I feel that he should go to a smaller club if his aim is to shine. He is being outshined by his colleagues and seriously I feel that he is no Barcelona material. He is good, but not that good.
