Robinho insists he is staying Manchester City and has backed the club to win the UEFA Cup. The Brazilian told The Sun: "I know about rumours linking me with different teams but I am not pre-occupied by them. My head only has time for City and I want to be the star of this club.

"I am totally convinced City can win the UEFA Cup. A title in my first season in England will be magnificent.

"City are preparing an enormous project for next season and I am totally focused on this adventure. We could really be big in the table in a few months."
