Lazio defender Stefan de Vrij has played down reports linking him with a move to Manchester United.
The 23-year-old is believed to share a close relationship with Man United boss Louis van Gaal, who De Vrij played under for Netherlands at the 2014 World Cup.
The centre-back has again being linked with Old Trafford in recent days, but he has insisted that he is happy with life in Italy.
"I am continually being linked with Manchester United because Louis van Gaal is their manager," De Vrij told Il Messaggero.
"A lot of Dutch players are being linked with Manchester United, but there was never anything in it. All I want at this stage is to win things with Lazio.
"Our start to the season was a bit difficult, but we are on our way up again. We are climbing in the table."
De Vrij joined Lazio from Feyenoord in July 2014.
