Enzo Perez has revealed he looks set to stay with Benfica[GETTY]The 27-year-old won a place in Argentina's World Cup squad after enjoying a barnstorming season with the Portuguese giants, playing a key role in their Primeira Liga win over Sporting Lisbon and Porto.
Benfica, who also lost the Europa League final on penalties to Spanish side Sevilla, are keen to hold on to the versatile midfielder, and recently rewarded Perez with a lucrative four-year contract.
La Liga outfit Valencia, who are looking to make gains in the transfer market with a wealthy new owner, were set to do battle with the Red Devils for Perez's signature, but the former Estudiantes man claims he has no plans to leave the Stadium of Light this summer.
I am feeling very well at Benfica and I know the club will try to do the best for me
He revealed: "I know about their [United and Valencia's] interest. I have heard about these possibilities and my agent told me about them too.
"There is the possibility of playing for Valencia, who are a great club, but right now I want to be fully focused on the Argentina national team and on the World Cup.
"I am very happy at Benfica, I signed the contract renewal before travelling to join the Argentina squad, which shows that I want to keep wearing this shirt.
"I am feeling very well at Benfica and I know the club will try to do the best for me. I'll respect what they decide."
