Manchester United have become embroiled in a transfer row over Spanish wonderkid Mateo Mejia.
Reports over the weekend suggested United were closing in on a deal for 16-year-old Mejia from Real Zaragoza.
The Red Devils were tipped to pay just £135,000 for Mejia's training rights with the youngster reported to have said goodbye to his teammates.
But Real Zaragoza have now hit back and insisted they know nothing about the reported agreement.
The La Liga club released an official statement denying a move to Old Trafford had been agreed.
It said: "Given the information in the United Kingdom about the Real Zaragoza cadet footballer Mateo Mejía and the interest of Manchester United for his signing, Real Zaragoza wants to clarify the following:
"Mateo Mejía is a footballer who belongs to the discipline of Real Zaragoza in the Cadet (academy) category, linked to the Club with a federative card until June 30, 2020.
"Real Zaragoza has not reached any agreement for the transfer of this player to Manchester United."
Real Madrid , Arsenal and Valencia had all been monitoring Mejia, who has impressed in the Spanish youth division.
Manchester United ate keen to bring in more young talent from across Europe as they look to add to their ranks.
