Suarez™ Posted September 5, 2016 Posted September 5, 2016 Jose Fonte has released a statement on social media to "make perfectly clear" he is committed to Southampton. £10 Completely Free The Saints captain was linked with a move away from St Mary's Stadium this summer after an impressive Euro 2016 performance with Portugal in which he starred at centre-back alongside Real Madrid defender Pepe. Manchester United were one of the clubs reported to be interested in the 32-year-old after his international showings, with Fonte also represented by Jorge Mendes, the same agent as United boss Jose Mourinho. Southampton manager Claude Puel grew frustrated with the timing of reports surrounding Fonte's future, which coincided with their first Premier League game of the season against United, and after Wednesday saw the close of the summer transfer window Fonte posted a statement on social media reiterating his commitment to the south coast club. Fonte's statement read: "Once in the national team only national team interviews/talks are allowed hence my 'let's leave that for another time' when asked about questions regarding my own club situation.
