The young Spaniard has emerged as one of Europe’s brightest midfield talents this season, and has become an integral part of Diego Simeone’s title-chasing side.
The wide-man, who is also comfortable in the centre of the pitch, has helped Atletico to the top of La Liga, as well as scoring the goal against Barcelona which sent his side through to the semi-finals of the Champions League.
The 22-year-old only signed a new contract in January, and has made it clear he has no plans to join the Old Trafford revolution any time soon.
“I am very happy and I do not think about leaving the club right now,” he said.
“I am happy at home, I want to continue here and that is why I have a long contract.
“The rumours in the paper will have no impact on my game. I am young, but I am calm.
“Now is the best moment to enjoy being at Atletico. My future here will be long.”
