Striker would spurn interest from United to remain at Wigan
Amr Zaki has dampened early speculation surrounding his future, insisting that he remains fully committed to Wigan Athletic.
The Egyptian striker's blistering start to his debut season in England's top flight has seen him hit four goals in as many Premier League matches.
Zaki joined the Latics on a season-long loan from Zamalek and his impressive form has sparked rumours linking him with a move to a larger club come the end of the campaign.
Wigan boss Steve Bruce had claimed the side had an option to secure Zaki on a permanent basis; however Zamalek chairman Mamdouh Abbas has since denied the claims, casting further doubt over the 25-year-old's future.
Determination
Zaki, though, is adamant that he is 100 per cent committed to the Lancashire outfit, and has stated he would even turn down the opportunity to join Manchester United in order to remain with the club.
He said in the
Daily Mail: "If any other club came in for me I would still want to stay at Wigan. I feel at home here.
"Yes, even Manchester United, even though Steve Bruce used to play there.
"I cannot believe the determination of Steve Bruce. He spent six months trying to sign me.
"Now I want to show him that I am worth all his efforts. Zamalek didn't want me to go, I begged them because I wanted to play in England.
"Every match is a new challenge for me - it does not matter what I did in the last one.
Stars
"It's an honour to be playing against all these good defenders, who are stars at their own club. This is the strongest league in the world.
"I would like you to please thank all the team, who include me in everything even if I can't tell sometimes what they are saying to me, and especially the fans, because they have sent me a lot of love.
"A centre-forward has no limits on how many goals he can score. I want to score every match."
