Manchester United will reportedly tell Juventus that Antonio Valencia will not be sold in the January transfer window.
Juve have shown interest in the Ecuador international throughout the year and despite him only recently signing a new four-year deal at Old Trafford, the Serie A side are believed to be considering a bid for the 26-year-old next month.
But according to the Daily Mirror, United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has told the player's agent there is no chance of that of a January exit because his squad has been stretched to the limit by injuries to a number of senior players.
Diego Herrera Larrea had earlier this week had admitted that a January transfer would have been "very difficult."
"I am aware of rumours of Juventus' interest, but for my part there is nothing concrete," Larrea told Calciomercato.com.
"In the past, some Italian clubs were interested in the player but not in recent times.
"I don't think that Juve has spoken with Manchester United because I was not informed, but I cannot exclude it as a possibility.
"I see it as very difficult that he leaves United, first of all because he has recently signed a new four-year deal and because he and his family are very well in Manchester.
"But in football, never say never."
