Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has dismissed speculation about his future at the Premier League club, saying he would like a long-term stay at Old Trafford provided the team's owners are happy with his input.
After a relatively successful start to his United tenure last season, where it finished sixth in the league and won the Europa League and League Cup titles, Mourinho's side has been overshadowed by bitter rival Manchester City this campaign.
United is 15 points behind league leader City in second position and suffered a shock League Cup exit last month and Mourinho's growing frustation at his team's inconsistent form has been notice-able, leading to reports of his exit.
"I say garbage, I don't find a better word than that to define the talk," Mourinho told reporters when asked about a potential departure from Unites. "My intention is to stay and to work and to improve and to bring the club to where the club belongs.
"I repeat I am in the middle of my contract, if I am going to sign a new one it depends on the club but my commitment is total and I want to stay.
"I see myself here (after three years), is just a question of(whether) the club (...) are all happy with my contributon and they want me to stay beyond the end of this contract."
United's decline in form has been contrasted by that of Pep Guardiola's City, which is yet to be beaten in the league and competing impressively on all fronts.
