Ander Herrera insists he is "very happy" at Manchester United following a report suggesting he has become unsettled under Louis van Gaal.
The midfielder has missed United's last two games with a hamstring injury, but has not always been first choice under Van Gaal, who has used him in a variety of roles since he joined from Athletic Bilbao in the summer of 2014.
The Daily Star claimed on Tuesday the 26-year-old wanted "showdown talks" with the Dutchman, but in a message posted on Twitter, Herrera moved to allay fears he is unhappy at Old Trafford.
Alongside a picture containing part of an interview he did with the club's matchday programme for last week's game against PSV Eindhoven, Herrera said: "Interview given last week. Very happy at Manchester United."
The image contains the pull quote: "I don't want this dream to finish. I have to play as well as possible if I want to play as long as I can at this club."
I have to fight for my position and gain my position and I will do it.
Herrera, who has made 45 appearances and scored 11 times since moving to England, had stated in the interview that he was determined to fight for his place.
"When I was in Spain, I always thought about the best teams in the world and maybe the biggest and most-supported club is Manchester United," he told United Review.
"So I worked very hard to be here. When I was in Spain, I was very professional and had to be very consistent to get here.
"Now I am here, I always say the same thing: the most difficult thing is to stay at a big club.
"Of course, it is difficult to arrive at a big team in the first place, but it is even harder to stay there. The club has the possibility to sign new players and it's a very powerful club so all players want to play here. I have to fight for my position and gain my position and I will do it."
