Mats Hummels' father has stamped on speculation that his son could quit Borussia Dortmund to join Manchester United this month.
Red Devils boss Louis van Gaal is known to be a big fan of Hummels and a potential move to Old Trafford for the Germany international has been talked up.
But Hummels will not jump off a burning Dortmund ship as the club battle relegation from the Bundesliga this season, his father, who also acts as his agent, says.
Asked about the rumours by Sky Deutschland, Hermann Hummels replied: "There's nothing to it."
