Klaas-Jan Huntelaar has moved to quell speculation linking him with a move to Manchester United by stating he would be open to holding talks with his current club Schalke over a new deal.

Huntelaar, 28, has been in scintillating goalscoring form for Schalke this season, netting 15 times in 16 Bundesliga games, and he has subsequently been linked with a switch to United when the transfer window reopens on January 1.

But the Netherlands international is unaware of United's purported monitoring of his situation, and he has moved to stress his commitment at Veltins-Arena.

"I know nothing of alleged interest from Manchester United," Huntelaar said to Voetbal International. "I will not even speculate, I am concentrating fully on Schalke.

"I'll let any offers come to me quietly and will then see what happens. This is the attitude I've always had. My contract runs until the summer of 2013. If they [Schalke] want to talk, I'll gladly listen."
