Sporting Lisbon's Ricky van Wolfswinkel happy with Manchester United link – Report
Sporting Lisbon’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 for the time being. The striker has become one of the hottest properties in Europe but claims that he is content with life at Estadio
Jose Alvalade.
Dutch International Ricky van Wolfswinkel has been the subject of interest from a plethora of top European sides this season. The attacker’s move from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Utrecht-c39237 to Sporting seems to be one of the best decisions he has ever made and has resulted in him finding
the back of the net 12 times in only 16 appearances.
English Premier League giants, Manchester United, are considered to be one of the biggest names chasing the 22-year-old and their interest has been confirmed by coach, Mike Phelan.
Speaking to reporters, the tactician said that the Red Devils had been keeping tabs on the highly rated front man and was keen to address the player’s talents.
"We have obviously known Van Wolfswinkel for a long time. He is a young striker, very talented, who has been growing in the last few seasons,” he said.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson’s men have been struggling for goals this season despite an emphatic start. The club have not scored two goals in a single match in the Premiership since October and the days of a 5-0 victory seems to be ages ago.
While there is no shortage of attacking power at Old Trafford, the alleged departure of unwanted players such as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dimitar-Berbatov-c11254 and Fredrico Macheda could free up space in the first team and pave the way for a move for Van Wolfswinkel.
Although everything looks set for a switch in either the winter transfer window or the summer, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vitesse-c40905 man claims that while he is obviously pleased with a connection to Manchester United, he was quite happy at Sporting and did not want to leave.
Speaking to reporters, he said although top sides were on his trail, he was happy in his current surroundings and did not want to part ways with the Sportinguistas.
“It is good that my name was linked to big clubs such as Manchester United and others in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749, but I am really content and happy at Sporting,” he said.
He also added that everything at the club was going very well and he was netting goal after goal.
"Things are excellent in every sense. I play for a good club and I am scoring goals because I am taking this satisfaction on to the pitch,” Ricky wan Wolfswinkel was quoted as saying.
With a burgeoning reputation as one of Europe’s upcoming players, Ricky van Wolfswinkel is expected to feature at Euro 2012, where his talents will be put to the ultimate test and hopefully attract even more potential suitors.
