Lekhwiya are not in the market for Manchester United striker Robin van Persie.

It had been claimed that Lekhwiya - currently coached by former Swansea boss Michael Laudrup - had put together a £6m-a-year package to lure Van Persie to Qatar.

"There's no truth in the news. I don't know whose creation that is," the club's general secretary Adnan Al Ali told Doha Stadium Plus.

Van Persie, with a year to run on his United deal, is also being linked with Juventus this week.
