Manchester United winger Nani has revealed new boss David Moyes convinced him to stay at Old Trafford.
Nani was tipped to leave United this summer and it was even suggested he might run down his contract and leave on a free transfer next year.
However, the Portugal international ended speculation over his future by signing a new five-year deal last week.
Nani admits he turned down offers from other clubs to sign a new deal and that Moyes played a big role in his decision to pledge his long-term future to United.
"I am very content with my new deal at Manchester United," Nani told the Daily Mirror. "This summer was not easy but after a lot of thought and talking to David Moyes I believe it was the best solution.
"I feel I can offer many things to United. I had other important offers but without a sufficient challenge to make me want to leave United.
"The coach would not guarantee me a place in the XI more than any other player. I know I must work hard to get into this team.
"That is my objective for this season."
