Marcel Desailly has played down reports linking him with a move to Manchester United.
It had been suggested that United, who have lost six of their 15 league games and lie ninth in the table, had targeted the France and Chelsea captain for a move to Old Trafford.
United have conceded 25 goals in 15 games since the start of the season, the third-worst defensive record in the Premiership.
"The rumours haven't ceased announcing that I am going to Manchester United," Desailly said on his website. "I do not know where these rumours came from but I am sure that they come from a traditional case of gossip.
"It just leaves me quiet, this false information and I refuse to speak with anyone about it, and it is no use trying to talk to me about it," Desailly said. "My only concern today is to return quickly and quietly to winning ways with Chelsea".
