Sir Alex Ferguson has rubbished reports suggesting Real Madrid are keen to sign Manchester United striker Carlos Tevez.

Tevez's future at Old Trafford has been brought into question following the £30million arrival of Dimitar Berbatov in August.

The Argentina striker has yet to agree terms on a permanent contract with the Red Devils and his existing two-year loan deal is due to expire at the end of the current season.

Ferguson has continually suggested the 24-year-old will sign a permanent deal and has dismissed reports that the Spanish giants are preparing a January swoop.

The veteran Scot fought off the attentions of Real Madrid during a summer saga involving Cristiano Ronaldo.

"No, I've not spoken to Carlos about Real Madrid's interest. We get used to them talking to our players," said Ferguson in his press conference ahead of Tuesday's Champions League meeting with Villarreal.

"I could have the opportunity to respond to Real Madrid every day of the season because it never stops.

"We should talk about the game because there will be plenty of time to talk about Real Madrid throughout the rest of the season."
