Pato said: “I won’t lie, two hours before closing [the transfer window] I had a very nice offer from Manchester United. I was expecting it, but I only knew after when they offered. But my focus now is here. I am working to do my best and possibly stay at Sao Paulo.”

The former AC Milan attacker added: “I won’t lie to you that I think yes [about the future]. I see with my family, with the people closest to me, we talk about what will happen, how it will happen, what will be next year. It’s only a few months, we don’t count December, so it’s not a long time. But I am working, I’m very focused on Sao Paulo, I can’t stop thinking of my future, but my focus is Sao Paulo. I would really like to stay, but that doesn’t depend only on me. I have to do my work, my agent and my family take good care of these things, they want the best for me and the club, and I’m very professional, I always work focused, trying my best not to think.”
