Brighton goalkeeper Mathew Ryan insists he does think about speculation linking him with Manchester United.

With David De Dea stalling on a contract extension, Ryan has reportedly been listed as an option to replace the Spaniard.

But the Australian international insists he remains focused solely on the Seagulls.

"Rumours float around all the time," Ryan wrote for Players Voice.

"If I'd actually played for every team I'd been linked with through the years, I would have represented Real Madrid, Liverpool and quite a few others by now!

"It's not something I think about, although it's hard to ignore it completely when all your family and friends are messaging you to see whether it's true.

"All I'll say is this: I love doing what I'm doing and where I'm doing it."
