Brazil international Robinho insists he has no intention of leaving Manchester City in the summer.

The club record signing from Real Madrid eight months ago has flattered to deceive at times this season and has been criticised for a string of poor displays away from Eastlands.

However, he scored his first goal of 2009 - and 13th of the season - in Sunday's 4-2 win against rock-bottom West Brom 4-2, a result that revived hopes of clinching a top-seven finish.

Robinho told City's official website: "The manager gives me total confidence, and he and the whole team help me to produce my best football for the club.

"That goal gives me a lot more confidence to score more in the matches that we have left.

"There are no regrets on my part about coming here. Of course this is only my first year, and I try to get better and better every year. Hopefully in the future I will be even happier at this football club.

"My relationship with the manager is very good. Our manager is a very good manager, an excellent manager.

"Of course expectations are high over how the team will do. But my aim is to remain here for a long time to come."
