Mellor wants to stay

With Liverpool signing the former Real Madrid star Neil Mellor's place in the Liverpool side has come under threat and Sheffield United have again been linked with a move for the Academy graduate. However, Mellor insists he does not want to join the Blades but wants to stay and fight for his place with the Reds.

Mellor said: "I don't want to leave. The first I heard of interest from Sheffield United was when I saw it on Sky but I won't be going there.
 
"I know my form hasn't been good since my illness, but I know that and I am the first person to say when I'm not playing well. I'm not even thinking of leaving. This has been a brilliant season for me so far getting into the Liverpool first team.
 
"I want to stay and keep improving and show the manager I can do a job when I get the chance."
