Atletico Madrid defender Joao Miranda is flattered by Premier League interest.

Miranda admits he is flattered by speculation linking him with Manchester United and Manchester City.

He told AS: "Of course these news [stories] reach me. And they cheered me up. It's a sign that I am doing a good job.

"I look at it with pride, but my intention is to stay at Atletico because I still have a year and a half left on my contract."
