Newcastle striker Demba Ba has stated that rumours over a potential move to Manchester United are false, and made by someone not on his management team.
Armand Doorn, who claimed to be the Senegalese frontman’s representative, stated that the Premier League champions were ready to make a transfer bid for the in-form attacker before the end of January.
Ba however has clarified the matter, and admits that he has nothing to do with Doorn.
“Really, I don’t know how desperate this “armand doorn” can be to talk like he’s my agent!!” Ba stated on Twitter.
“He’s nothing for me. Stop lying and show respect.”
Ba’s management have also released a statement rubbishing Doorn’s claims, and despite admitting that the African forward had a buyout clause in his contract, said that the player is happy on Tyneside.
“Armand Doorn is not Demba’s agent. Alex Gontran is the only person who can speak on his behalf and Newcastle have not had an offer for him,” a spokesman told talkSPORT.
“Demba feels good at Newcastle. He has just started something there. There is a release clause in his contract but the figure will remain confidential.
“If a club wants to speak to Demba, then they must go to Newcastle first. We respect the process,” he finished.
