“I always want to show that (the affection) is mutual. Then we see this talk (Manchester United). But I’m very happy at Wolves. I’m focusing on rest and making the most of my time with my family. I am very happy at Wolves. The goal now is to achieve better seasons and help the club, God willing, I will continue on this path.
