Bruce rejects Palacios 'agreement'

Man UtdSteve Bruce has dismissed reports Wigan have already agreed a deal to sell Wilson Palacios to his old club Manchester United.

Speculation has been rife that United will land the highly-rated Honduras international for around £18million in the January transfer window or next summer but Bruce insists no pre-arranged deal has been struck.

Latics boss told the Wigan Evening Post: "I'm never going to be able to stop speculation like that as everyone knows my connections with United. But there is no deal done, I can tell you that.

"The way Wilson has been playing, he is going to attract the attention of other clubs.

"But certainly nothing is in place at Christmas or next summer."
