Milner Vow To Whites

Last updated : 26 April 2004 By Kevin Markey

Milner, who is in his first full season, declared: "My heart is here. I love the club and I want to play here for a long time, even if we get relegated.

"Of course it's flattering when you hear other clubs are interested in you and it's a confidence boost because you know you are doing something right. But hopefully I can take that confidence into games for Leeds."

Milner, who is under contract until the summer of 2007, and his family still have season tickets at Elland Road and he insists that his team-mates are just as committed to keeping United up.

He said: "It doesn't matter if you are from here or Australia, like the big man (Viduka). We are all desperate to pull out of the bottom three."
