Leeds United Football Club - United: No Plans To Sell
The future of Mark Viduka is again being speculated on in the morning's press, but United insist they are not looking to part with their key striker.
Manchester United and Inter Milan have both been linked with making a move for the Australian when the transfer window reopens by reports, but the club's position on all their key players remains clear.
United chief executive Trevor Birch said today:
"We are not commenting on speculation, but we are not looking to sell any players in January."
Leeds caretaker manager Eddie Gray has been delighted with the form of Viduka since he took control.
"Since I've come back to the club, he has been terrific," said Eddie. "I've never had any problem with Mark, who is a top-class striker. He is certainly a vital member of our team and I was delighted to see him score, because once he starts scoring goals, to go with everything else he has got, he shows how important he is to us. I said a few weeks ago Mark Viduka will start scoring goals and once he does then he will go on a run and I'd like to think he will now. There is no doubt that in playing on his own up front, Mark cannot help but get involved, and that is clearly working in his favour, as well as ours."
