Cristiano Ronaldo has underlined his desire to remain at Manchester United.

Cristiano Ronaldo has underlined his desire to remain at Manchester United.

Valencia have been reported to be eyeing a move for the flamboyant Portuguese international in recent months but Ronaldo sees his future at Old Trafford.

The former Sporting Lisbon star admits the interest in him is flattering but he is focused solely on helping to equip United to make a renewed tilt at honours next season.

"It's very important to me to be a Manchester United player," Ronaldo told the Sun.

"It [the speculation] is a sign that people appreciate my work and like me.

"I believe I'm going to improve even more, win titles and help my club achieve its aims."

While Ronaldo has been used in a wing role in his Old Trafford career to date, the 21-year-old admits he would relish being pushed even further forward.

"I play regularly on the left wing and the right wing but the position I prefer is a free role up front, like a second striker," he added.

"At Manchester I haven't had the chance to play in this position yet because there are a lot of players who do a great job there."
