Dundee United boss Peter Houston does not expect Francisco Sandaza to be the subject of any bids despite speculation about a move to La Liga.[LNB] The 25-year-old has been linked with both Getafe and Racing Santander in his homeland.[LNB]Sandaza's season was wrecked by a double hernia problem that sidelined him for much of the campaign and he is back in Spain working on his fitness ahead of pre-season.[LNB]Houston believes his injury woes will scupper any offers this time around but does eventually expect the forward to attract the attention of other clubs.[LNB]He told the Dundee Evening Telegraph: "Fran is a very good player, someone I rate highly, but his injury means he has only started one game in the past season.[LNB]"Hopefully, his problems are behind him and he'll be back scoring goals for us next season.[LNB]"And my feeling is, once he is doing that, you'll see people having a serious look at him."[LNB]Speculation continues to surround the rest of United's Active Nation Scottish Cup-winning squad.[LNB]But Houston added: "We have not had a single call from a club wanting to buy any of our players."[LNB]
