RVN on MUTV:

'The talks are going very well and I am positive about the outcome.

'I do not expect any problems and quite probably the negotiations are going to be finished soon.

'The manager knows what I feel for this club. I want to stay here for a long time, that is why I am so happy that everything is going so well.'

'It is fantastic to be part of a club with such big names and huge tradition.

'If I score a lot of goals it means I am doing my job. Getting to 50 or 100 is not a target on its own.

'I just want to carry on doing my best, I can look at the statistics when I get to the end of my career.'

Various sources say that the new deal will give him wage parity with Keano and Ferdinand.
