Brazil ace Robinho claims he enjoys a good relationship with Mark Hughes amid reports that he is unhappy at Manchester City following his walkout on the club.

The Brazilian is in hot water with City after leaving their training camp in Tenerife without permission on Monday night.

The striker, who has been linked with a move to Chelsea in recent days, was reported to have stormed out following a disagreement with Hughes.

Robinho was believed to be unhappy at City's failure to land compatriot Kaka from AC Milan.

But, amid speculation suggesting he is unhappy at Eastlands, the club's record signing claims nothing could be further from the truth.

"I like living in Manchester and I have made many friends at the club and in the city since I arrived last year," Robinho told his official website.

"I admire the Manchester City fans, who are truly lovers of football and loyal to the club's players.

"I am looking forward to delivering as many goals as possible to help our team move to the next level.

"I have a good relationship with coach Mark Hughes and have always respected his decisions. He is the boss."
