Villarreal confirm Senna stay

Villarreal have confirmed that Marcos Senna will not be going to Manchester United.

Villarreal have confirmed that midfielder Marcos Senna will be staying at the Estadio El Madrigal.

The Spaniard has been pursued by Manchester United for much of the summer, but The Yellow Submarines are unhappy with the way the Premiership club have conducted themselves and have called off negotiations.

With the new Primera Liga season imminent, Villarreal president Fernando Roig feels the club cannot afford to wait on United any longer.

He also blasted the Premiership side for not keeping Villarreal informed of their intentions.

"We are not negotiating with the English club because after several weeks of contact the matter is still not clear," said Roig.

"Manchester United have not treated this subject in the correct way and have damaged relations between the clubs."

Senna is contracted to Villarreal for another year, but is expected to hold talks with club bosses in the next weeks about a possible extension.

"The best news for Villarreal is the stay of Marcos Senna," Roig remarked.
