The Premier League giants Manchester United were allegedly interested in securing the services of the Spaniard, who spent last season on loan with Rayo Vallecano.

However, the talented midfielder has decided to extend his stay with Atletico for two more years.

Saul has scored four goals in 32 appearances for Atletico this season.
