Sol Campbell says he has not had any contact with Manchester United despite being linked with a move to the club earlier today.

It was reported that the former England defender had been asked to train at Old Trafford as the club hope to address their defensive injury crisis. However, the 35-year-old says that, though he would be happy to accept such an offer, it has yet to be made.

"I have heard nothing officially from Manchester United, but there have been suggestions and, of course, it would be a great move for me, if it happens," he said. "I shall just have to wait and see if a call comes through the right channels.

"Of course, I would love to play for Manchester United, but I am not counting any chickens, just waiting to see what happens," he told ESPN Soccernet. "I am training as usual at Arsenal, and would go to train at Manchester United if I was asked."

Campbell may have to wait for some time yet, however. An insider at Manchester United described any move for the defender as "nonsense".
