Stefan de Vrij: 'I'm happy at Lazio and want to stay here'

Lazio defender and reported Manchester United target Stefan de Vrij claims that he is not looking to leave the Serie A club anytime soon.

Lazio defender Stefan de Vrij has declared that he is not looking to leave the Biancocelesti anytime soon.

The 23-year-old Dutchman is understood to be on the radar of Manchester United, manager Louis van Gaal managing his fellow countryman during his stint as Netherlands boss.

De Vrij, however, is quoted by the Daily Star as saying: "I'm happy at Lazio and I'll still be here next year.

"I hope to play in the Champions League with this shirt, but that doesn't determine my future. If we don't qualify, it wouldn't change anything - I want to stay here.

"Here in Rome, I've learned a lot and become a better defender. I'm really happy with the choice I made."

De Vrij debuted as a professional for Feyenoord aged 17 and spent five seasons at the Eredivisie club, serving briefly as captain, before joining Lazio in July 2014.
