Manchester United have not shown any interest in signing Julian Alvarez this month amid interest from Man City in a transfer before deadline day.
The Manchester Evening News reported last week that City are in the hunt for the South American Footballer of the Year, who is understood to have a £16.75million release clause in his contract.
However, United have no interest in signing Alvarez at the moment, with a club source recently stating, 'there is nothing in the reports at all'.
Pep Guardiola's side could land Alvarez, 21, this month, but his club River Plate are keen to keep him until the summer at least.
Even if he were to sign for City in January it is understood they would loan him out to one of their sister clubs in Europe, with Alvarez not seen as a potential replacement for compatriot Sergio Aguero.
The striker, who has been capped five times by Argentina, will be looking to earn a call-up to the World Cup squad at the end of the year and knows his next transfer destination could be pivotal in earning international recognition.
