Striker Dean Ashton is looking to hold immediate talks with West Ham boss Alan Curbishley about his future at the club.
The prolific forward has endured a difficult time at Upton Park due to injuries, although two goals in the Hammers' final two games of the season has raised his profile again and resulted in a call-up to Fabio Capello's England squad to face America and Trinidad & Tobago.
Despite his problems, Ashton has still attracted plenty of interest with Manchester United reportedly interested in taking him to Old Trafford in the summer. However, the former Norwich man wants to speak with Curbishley to see if he is still in his plans at Upton Park.
"I suppose it is flattering to be linked with United, but you don't really read a lot about what goes into the papers," said Ashton. "The thing I'm more worried about is what West Ham think of me and whether they want to keep me.
"As far as I know I'll be here. I haven't heard anything myself and the only worry is that the club haven't spoken to me yet so I don't know where I stand with the club at the moment.
"Obviously I'd like to speak to the club about my future. I'd just like to know where my future stands. I haven't really been told particularly where my future stands at the moment.
"West Ham is the team I play for. I've got two years (left) here and I want to talk to the club because I've really enjoyed myself here and that's all I'm really thinking about."
