Javier Manquillo: "My future is at Atletico Madrid"

Teenage defender Javier Manquillo has insisted that he does not want to leave Atletico Madrid.

The 19-year-old is widely regarded as one of the best young talents in Europe, but has been forced to play second fiddle to Juanfran this season.

A number of European clubs have been linked with a loan move for the Spaniard, but Manquillo has claimed that he does not want to depart the capital outfit.

"I'm happy but I place no value on individual performances. What matters is the game and looking forward," he told reporters at a press conference.

"We knew it would be a difficult match and we had to come out with intensity. You can't be critical of a score like that. My future is at Atletico Madrid, I'm not thinking about anything else."

Manquillo impressed as Atletico beat Sant Andreu 4-0 in the first leg of their Copa del Rey fourth-round clash at the weekend.
