Barcelona star Dani Alves has insisted that he has not signed a pre-contract with Manchester United or any other club.
The Brazilian right-back has been linked with a move to Old Trafford in the summer and some recent reports have suggested that he has already signed for Louis Van Gaal's side.
Talk surrounding his future at Camp Nou intensified last week when the player's agent said the latest contract offer made was "unsatisfactory".
It was also rumoured that Barcelona manager Luis Enrique has identified a replacement for the 31-year-old.
Alves, who is contracted to the Spanish club until the summer, dismissed reports linking him elsewhere.
"I am very happy at Barcelona and I have not signed with anyone," he told BeIn Sports.

"In life, you have to be thankful. Barca are a club that changed my life, made me realise all my dreams. I'll get to the end of my contract with the same ambition as when I came here.
"If the club asks me to look for another alternative, then I'll look at the other options. But for now, this is not the case. I stay focused on the end of the season because I'm still a competitor. A decision will be made at the end of the season."
