He said to me that he was not interested ....

Hi

Do you find both sentences equally correct and natural?
He said to me that he was not interested in the news.

He told me that he was not interested in the news.

For the record, many grammar books by Pakistani authors refer to the first sentence as incorrect.

Many thanks for your time and effort,

Tom
