Sporting coughed a hefty €5.4 million to secure his services and the decision seems to have paid as off, as the forward has been consistently finding the back of the net.
With 10 goals to his name, this season has already been a memorable one for the 22-year-old and the attention of Manchester United has further added to his glowing reputation.
The Red Devils have reportedly been keeping tabs on the highly rated attacker and United’s assistant coach, Mike Phelan, also admitted that the club have been sending scouts to watch his talents.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson is also thought to be a keen admirer of the player and it is expected that he will include him in his star studded team at Old Trafford in the near future.
While the Premier League champions boast the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Danny-Welbeck-c10233 upfront, the addition of Van Wolfswinkel could potentially rekindle the kind of devastating form they had shown in the opening exchanges of the new campaign.
Although luring him to Manchester will be difficult, the task has been made impossible with the latest statement made by the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vitesse-c40905 man.
Sporting had already shown their reluctance in letting their prized asset leave Estadio Jose Alvalade and now Van Wolfswinkel has himself committed his immediate future to the club, saying that he will continue plying his trade in Liga Sagres for at least
two more years.
Speaking to reporters, the Oranje front-man said that he was enjoying his time with the Sportinguistas and had no desire to leave his surroundings just yet.
"I hope I will stay for at least two years and that this team will stick together for that long. I really like being at Sporting and that is seen on the field. I have no reason to leave - I look around and I have all I want,” he said.
The striker also added that the Lisbon side were a top team and along with their passionate supporters was all he wanted.
"Sporting are a really big club and their fans are fantastic. What more could I want?,” Ricky van Wolfswinkel was quoted as saying.
While the likes of Manchester United will be warded off for the time being with his decision to stay with Sporting, Ricky van Wolfswinkel’s talents deserve greener pastures and more clubs are likely to gain an interest in him in the future.
