AS Monaco striker Rony Lopes has dismissed talk of a return to Manchester City.

The Portuguese attacker made his first team debut with City before moving to France four years ago.

Now impressing for Monaco, Lopes was asked about the prospect of re-signing for City in the near future.

"A return to Manchester City? I had a good time at the club and I managed to make my debut at the Etihad, but my present is in Monaco," he said.

"They invested and believed a lot in me. My intention is to give them that confidence and win titles here. As for my future ... God only knows it."
