"People talk about me leaving as if it's already happened, but I have a four-year contract at United and I'm at a club that are quite possibly the strongest team in Europe right now.

The tournament was cancelled last year following the collapse of Fifa's marketing partners ISL, but the next one will take place in three years' time if space can be found in the international football calendar. Despite limited interest from television companies, Fifa president Sepp Blatter is pressing ahead with plans for the event. Blatter said: "We have decided that in 2005 we shall organise another Fifa World Club Championship, probably in a non-European country as there will already be the Federation Cup in Germany that year as a rehearsal for the World Cup."
