Nicolas Gaitan ensures that he is focused on Benfica, despite being linked with "great" Manchester United.

Benfica winger Nicolas Gaitan has admitted that he is not concerning himself with all the transfer speculation surrounding him.

The 24-year-old has been heavily linked with a switch to reigning English champions Manchester United as well as Manchester City, who are believed to be interested in the winger.

"Every now and again I am linked to a big club in the Premier League," Gaitan told Goal.com. "I am used to the rumours by now and it doesn't affect my work at Benfica. Manchester United? A great club, what more can I say?"

The Argentina international, who signed a fresh five-year deal with Benfica last October, reportedly has a £40m release clause.
