Premiership: Barcelona reject Reiziger-United links

Barcelona have rejected claims that their unsettled defender, Michael Reiziger, could be on his way to Manchester United.

The Dutch international’s agent claimed United had contacted Barcelona about a possible transfer, but a spokesman for the Spanish club said: "The player is a Barcelona player and I don’t recall any contact or negotiations with Manchester United."

Reiziger, a former Ajax and AC Milan player, has fallen out of favour at the Nou Camp, with Claude Puyol taking his place in the back line.
