Newcastle and Middlesbrough are both thought to have had bids accepted for the former Leeds star, while Everton would be interested if they could offload James Beattie.

However, Smith was training as normal at Carrington on Tuesday morning, with Ferguson stating no deal was imminent.

Alex Ferguson: "It is a bit open.

"There have been a few inquiries and we know Alan wants first-team football but nothing has been decided."
