Celtic defender Jason Denayer targets Man City future

Celtic defender Jason Denayer admits he's sees his future at parent club Manchester City.

Denayer insists he is focused on helping his loan club achieve success domestically and in Europe, his goal remains to play for City in the Champions League.

He said: "I watched Manchester City play in the Champions League on Tuesday night and I want to be back there next season.

"But I don't think about this too much. I prefer to think about the present at Celtic. I want to do well enough here to maybe play there.

"Being at Celtic has given me what I didn't have at City. Reserve-team football at Man City is good but it's not the same as playing for a first-team.

"In Under 21 football, you play against young opponents. At Celtic, I am playing against men. But I still want to go back to England after my loan and try to be a success. That is my priority."
