Paris Saint-Germain star Blaise Matuidi insists he is only focusing on this weekend’s Euro 2016 final with France amid speculation that he could seal a transfer to Manchester United.
The Red Devils have been strongly linked with the 29-year-old in recent times, as well as with his French team-mate Paul Pogba.
However, Matuidi does not seem to be in the mood for negotiating a transfer, describing the prospect of European Championship glory with France as ‘an exceptional moment’.
‘I am French before everything,’ he told a press conference. ‘It is not the time for that question. I am 100 per cent for the Euro and concentrating on it.
‘I am living in an exceptional moment that perhaps we will not live again in our lives. I am living it very proudly.
‘I am still under contract with PSG and it stops there.
‘I’ve never known any time like this before, the final of the Euro. For other matches (preparation) doesn’t change. It’s always the same thing.
‘In between the workouts, the meals and the naps, its in the head. I try to have as little stress as possible.
‘There is a knot in my stomach. It’s like that but once we arrive at the stadium we forget all of that and we say that we have to play in a fighting way to obtain the result that we want.
‘We are going to be ready because Sunday is going to be the match of our lives. We are going to give everything.’
