Parma president Tommaso Ghirardi has revealed Manchester United striker Giuseppe Rossi has told him he wants to stay with the Serie A club next season.

Juventus and Porto are also keen on the Italy U21 international, but Ghirardi revealed: "I am hopeful because the player has confirmed to me once again that he intends to stay with us.

"We've spoken with the Manchester United directors and are at their complete disposal in order to find a solution that suits everyone. We are now waiting and hoping."
