Shaun Wright-Phillips has signalled his intention to fight for his future at Manchester City.

The winger has had limited opportunities under manager Roberto Mancini and has been linked with a move away from Eastlands.

The 29-year-old was handed a chance to impress on City's pre-season tour and made his mark with a goal in the 2-0 win over Club America.

Wright-Phillips is in the final year of his contract and is ready to fight for his future. He said: "I'm working hard and I have no intention of going anywhere else.

"If they want to keep me I want to be here. That would be my ideal scenario and I've told the manager that.

"Everyone knows my feelings for the club, but let's see what happens."
