The cultured centre back, who is renowned for his ball-playing ability as much as he is his defensive capabilities, is often earmarked as a danger man thanks to his qualities at setting up attacks from deep appeared destined to move to Barcelona after Catalan publication Mundo Deportivo reported the deal as almost done.Sir Alex Ferguson’s rather public pursuit of a central defender has led his scouting team all over Europe and South America with Ezequiel Garay, Eliaquam Mangala, Frickson Erazo and Dede all being persistently linked with a move to the club in recent weeks.However, Hummels’ agent, who is also his father, has appeared to quash speculation over an impending move to the Spanish club.Despite United appearing to be coming on strong in the defensive area following 600 odd minutes without conceding a goal in the league and Evans, Vidic and Ferdinand all enjoying good seasons, Ferdinand is yet to agree a new deal and despite speculation mounting that he will soon sign on the dotted line, he will eventually need replacing.Speaking to Bild, he said; “I have had no contact with FC Barcelona. I’ve just heard the rumour.As he signed a new contract in the summer tying him to Dortmund until 2017, the 24-year-old would likely command a sizeable wedge and would certainly be more expensive than the other options that United appear to be exploring with a deal with Benfica over Garay appearing to be close.Every top footballer has ambitions to play sometime at some European clubs, which you can imagine. These include Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and Manchester United.
