He wants to carry on at the best level possible.

The Blades have just sold Aaron Ramsdale to Arsenal and are looking for a replacement.

The R's shot-stopper was also targeted by West Ham and Crystal Palace earlier this year.

Meanwhile, United will have to pay Liverpool a £500,000 bonus for Ben Davies if the centre-back helps them win promotion.
