It has been confirmed that United will not make a summer move for Nicolas Anelka after Bolton sought assurances from Reds chief executive David Gill.
Newspaper reports had linked the former Real Madrid and Arsenal forward with a switch to Old Trafford from North-west neighbours Bolton.
But Trotters chairman Phil Gartside spoke to David Gill over the weekend to clear up the matter.
Gartside told bwfc.co.uk: "David Gill has confirmed to me that Manchester United has no interest in Nicolas Anelka."
United have spent big already this summer, bringing in Owen Hargreaves from Bayern Munich, Nani from Sporting Lisbon and Anderson from FC Porto for a reported combined fee of £50million.
That may not necessarily be the end of Sir Alex Ferguson's spending, although Anelka is definitely not on the shopping list.
"We did a major bit of business for a significant amount of money [last week] and by in large that'll be the main element of our business," Gill told MUTV.
"But who knows what will happen over the next couple of months. If a player comes up that Alex feels will improve the squad then I'm sure we'll find the funds we need."
