Sol Campbell has admitted he is 'not counting any chickens' following reports linking him with a move to Manchester United.

The 35-year-old former Arsenal, Tottenham and Portsmouth defender has been mentioned as a possible transfer target for the Red Devils following a spate of injuries at Old Trafford.

United are currently without a clutch of defenders with Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Jonny Evans, John O'Shea, Wes Brown and Gary Neville all currently sidelined.

But Campbell, who is is a free agent after playing just one game for Notts County during an ill-fated spell at Meadow Lane earlier this season, does not expect to hear anything from Sir Alex Ferguson.

"I have heard nothing officially from United, but there have been suggestions and, of course, it would be a great move for me, if it happens," said Campbell.

"I'm not counting any chickens."

Campbell has also been linked with moves to Hull City and Everton, plus Championship high-fliers Newcastle United and West Bromwich Albion.
