Asmir Begovic flattered by Real Madrid, Manchester United rumours

Stoke City goalkeeper Asmir Begovic has admitted that he is flattered by rumours linking him with Real Madrid and Manchester United.

The Spanish giants are understood to be keen on signing the Bosnia and Herzegovina international, while Manchester United are also thought to be monitoring his progress.

Despite refusing to commit his future to Stoke, Begovic insists that he has had no contact with other clubs.

"From my point of view it's flattering to hear those words - two of the biggest clubs in the world - but I'm just enjoying playing my football here," he told Sky Sports News.

"I focus on my job each and every day and make sure I perform every weekend for Stoke City.

"I've enjoyed my time here and don't want that to change but everyone has ambitions to go as far in the game as possible but there's been no contact."

Begovic joined Stoke from Portsmouth in 2010.
