No Dante move to United

Manchester United manager David Moyes has no chance of signing Brazil defender Dante during this month’s transfer window, according to the player’s agent.

In a bizarre series of events, reports emerged in Brazil claiming Dante had agreed to join United, with the player then going on radio to clarify the situation, effectively stating nothing would be decided until January 31.

However, Marcus Marin, the 30-year-old’s Germany-based agent, insists the only discussions that have been taking place are with Bayern Munich over an extension to a contract not due to expire until 2016.
