Manchester City duo Martin Petrov and Elano have rejected reports linking them with moves away from Eastlands.

The midfield duo were thought to be unsettled at City because of the ongoing uncertainty regarding Sven Goran Eriksson's future as manager.

However, Bulgarian international Petrov has played down the rumours saying he is already focused on next season.

"I feel part of the club, we have some very good players here, a lot of international players that make us a very good football team and I think next season we'll be much better," Petrov told the club's official website.

"That has to be our ambition, we'll need more points than this year to finish higher. We have to look at finishing around fifth or sixth."

Settled

Brazilian ace Elano pledged his future to City revealing he is settled in Manchester.

"I am very happy at this club and my family are enjoying life here too," Elano told the News of the World.
