Manchester United full-back Matteo Darmian has insisted that he has paid no attention to reports that have linked him with a move away from Old Trafford.

The 26-year-old only joined the Red Devils during the summer, but recent speculation had claimed that he was already keen to secure a switch back to his native Italy.

However, when asked about the rumours by reporters, Darmian responded: "I am happy here with the team, the staff and the city. I am happy here so I just try to ignore the rumours. I want to continue on my way and that's it.

"I think the manager is happy with my progress and when I train I try to improve day by day."

Italian champions Juventus are the club that have been most linked with Darmian's services.
