Benfica star Angel Di Maria has insisted that he won't think about his future until the end of the season.

The Argentine international has regularly been linked with a move away from the Portuguese side, with Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City all heavily tipped to make a bid.

But the 22-year-old, who joined Benfica from Rosario Central for £6m in 2007, wants to focus on helping his club attempt to win their first league title since 2005.

"I am very happy and perhaps I am having the best moments I have had as a player," Di Maria said after helping his side to a 3-1 win over Pacos de Ferreira at the weekend

"My work with Benfica is good and my family are settled in Lisbon, and I am dreaming of titles and hopefully that is what will happen in the next few months.

"My head is with Benfica and I will not speak about my possible exit until the end of the season."
