Everton defender Leighton Baines has insisted that he does not know anything about a possible move to Manchester United.
The 27-year-old, who has three years left on his current deal at Goodison Park, has been heavily linked with a big-money move to Old Trafford this summer.
However, the England international believes that such rumours are expected at this time of year.
"I've been aware of what's been said in the press but I don't know much beyond that," he told reporters. "It doesn't do any harm [to be linked] but it doesn't do any good either.
"It's just one of those things that tends to swing around this time of year. People put two and two together sometimes they get four and sometimes they get three or five.
"It gets other people more excited than those involved."
Baines joined the Merseysiders from Wigan Athletic in 2007 for around £5m.
