Henrik Larsson's agent has played down suggestions that the on-loan striker could extend his stay at Manchester United beyond the original March agreement.
The veteran former Celtic and Barcelona hitman - now with Helsingborgs in his native Sweden - scored on his debut in the 2-1 FA Cup third round defeat of Aston Villa on Sunday.
His goalscoring debut led to suggestions that the 35-year-old could remain at Old Trafford until the end of the season.
Helsingborgs chairman Sten-Inge Fredin revealed on Monday that Larsson would be allowed to extend his stay if all parties were in agreement, but the player's agent Rob Jansen has attempted to cool the talk.
"There is no situation. He has a contract until that period (March 12) and, in principle, that's it," he said.
"I can't answer the question of whether his contract could change because that is not the issue at the moment.
"The question of whose decision (it is) is also not important, because he has started and played one game."
