Liverpool's nemesis staying with Fiorentina

Fiorentina star Stevan Jovetic admits he is flattered to be linked with a move to Manchester United, but insists he is happy to stay with the Viola. Recent reports have suggested United are keeping tabs on Jovetic following his impressive showing against Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League. Jovetic caught the eye against Liverpool, with both goals in Fiorentina's 2-0 success, to fuel talk of interest from a host of Europe's top clubs. The 19-year-old is ignoring the speculation and claims he has no plans to quit the Artemio Franchi. "I read about the transfer stories around me and am honoured by Manchester United's interest, but I am very happy in Florence," Jovetic told Serbian daily Blic. "At Fiorentina I have everything I need to grow and improve as a player. I have a contract with the Viola for another five years and I have no intention of leaving." Jovetic also admitted he was still coming to terms with his performance, and his side's recent win, over Liverpool. "Beating Liverpool was surreal. I'm still dreaming," added Jovetic "I am convinced the victory against Liverpool will be remembered for a long time. "Now we have an advantage over Liverpool, but there are still four games to play."
