Soccer:Mesut Ozil insists he has no plans to leave Real Madrid after being linked again with a move to Manchester United.

The Real Madrid star shunned a move to England last summer after he impressed hugely at the World Cup finals.

But with Madrid busy bolstering their squad this summer, Ozil had been linked with a possible departure from the Santiago Bernabeu.

United were reported to maintain an interest in the brilliant 22-year-old midfielder and Spanish reports claimed they had made contact with his agent to find if he was looking to leave.

But his agent Reza Fazeli is quoted by Marca as saying: "Ozil is very happy at Real Madrid."

The German international emphasised this by adding: "I do not move from Madrid."

United are in the market for a midfield playmaker following Paul Scholes' retirement and, along with Ozil, have been linked with the likes of Luka Modric, Samir Nasri and Wesley Sneijder.
