If thats what he said its a mistake. You dont damp down speculation by lying / misleading / having an incomplete memory of events / being economical with the actualitie. Maybe he means they have never spoken about a new contract, because they have agreed to do that in the summer. Krueger said he had dinner with him and spent 9 hours together at Wembley last week. Im pretty sure MP would remember that.
Edit. Just seen other thread where apparently MP said he will see out the final year of his contract regardless. non story in that case.
