Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has raised the possibility of record signing Dimitar Berbatov returning to Tottenham.
Berbatov has no future at Old Trafford and, after a day of speculation, it was thought the Bulgarian had settled on a move to Fulham.
Cottagers boss Martin Jol spoke optimistically about the deal yesterday.
However, Ferguson today insisted no deal had been completed.
"I do not know what has happened," the Scot said.
"He has not gone yet. I do not know anything about it. There's not been any contact from him.
"We thought he was in Italy but it turned out he isn't. He could be anywhere. I really mean that.
"I wouldn't be surprised if he was at Tottenham. There are rumours going around. I do not think it is settled at Fulham."
A Tottenham source expressed doubt about the deal, although it would be a surprise if Ferguson mentioned it without some kind of background knowledge.
Meanwhile, the United boss has confirmed he expects Wayne Rooney to be sidelined for four weeks following the deep gash to his thigh sustained in Saturday's win over Fulham.
Medical staff were alarmed by the extent of the wound, leading to speculation Rooney could be out for longer than was originally anticipated.
However, that is not going to be the case.
"He should be back in four weeks," said Ferguson.
"He was in yesterday. It is nothing serious on the gash. It is a bad one but he was treated quickly so we don't expect any complications.
"And the fact it is a gash rather than a ligament or joint injury means he can do a lot of work in the gym."
Ferguson also confirmed Ashley Young, who was omitted from the England squad yesterday, had picked up a knee injury, although he was evidently not impressed at how the information became public.
"It was nice of the FA to let everyone know that Ashley Young is injured," he said.
"There is no point in giving them any information now.
"He got a knee injury last week. It is not serious. He will be ready in a couple of weeks' time."
