Sporting Lisbon star Ricky van Wolfswinkel has revealed that he is flattered to be linked to Manchester United but insists that he will remain in Portugal.

The 22-year-old forward has been of interest to the Premier League champions along with London outfit Chelsea, according to Sky Sports News.

"It is good that my name was linked to big clubs such as Manchester United and others in England, but I am really content and happy at Sporting," Van Wolfswinkel told Dutch radio station NOS.

"Things are excellent in every sense. I play for a good club and I am scoring goals because I am taking this satisfaction on to the pitch."

The Dutchman is believed to have an £18.9m release clause in his contract.
