Hoffenheim midfielder Christoph Baumgartner has welcomed rumours linking him with Liverpool and Manchester United.

Both English giants were linked with the Austria international towards the end of last season.

He told Sport1: "It is of course better if there are positive rumours instead of negative ones.

"But I feel very comfortable here and can develop well here.

"In football, you can never say 1000 percent about what happens in a few months - but I am very happy here and see a great opportunity to develop myself and the team here."
