West Ham striker Dean Ashton admits he’s flattered to be linked with Manchester United.

“I suppose it is flattering to be linked with United, but you don’t really read a lot about what goes into the papers,” said Ashton.

“The thing I’m more worried about is what West Ham think of me and whether they want to keep me.

“As far as I know I’ll be here. I haven’t heard anything myself and the only worry is that the club haven’t spoken to me yet so I don’t know where I stand with the club at the moment.

“Obviously I’d like to speak to the club about my future. I’d just like to know where my future stands. I haven’t really been told particularly where my future stands at the moment. “West Ham is the team I play for. I’ve got two years (left) here and I want to talk to the club because I’ve really enjoyed myself here and that’s all I’m really thinking about.”
