RABBI MATONDO insists he will not be distracted by reports of a possible move to Manchester United this summer.

The Wales international was back in Schalke's starting line-up on Sunday as they were beaten 3-0 by Augsburg at the Veltins Arena.

Former Man City flyer Matondo has been linked with a switch to the Red Devils – as he would be a cheaper alternative to Jadon Sancho.

He has only been in Germany for just over a year and said: "I am concentrating on Schalke. I still have to achieve my goals for Schalke.

“I am just concentrating on that and we just see how things go, but for now I am just focused on Schalke.

"Hopefully I can get into the team and help them climb up the table."

Schalke’s hopes of clinching a Champions League place have been affected by back to back defeats since the restart.

And the ￡9million ace says getting David Wagner’s men back on track is his only thought – rather than trying to get a move back to the Premier League.

He told the Manchester Evening News: "I haven't really thought about it like that.

"I just want to do well at Schalke and give back what they have invested into me.

"I just want to give my all and then whatever happens in the future happens. Never say never."
