Lawrence Shankland teases Dundee United stay as in-demand star welcomes Premiership return plan

Striker Lawrence Shankland admits he's flattered to be named as the focal point for Dundee United 's Premiership plan.

The runaway Championship leaders look certain to seal a top-flight return, thanks in no small part to the frontman's 29 goals.

Shankland's exploits have created a long list of admirers but Tannadice sporting director Tony Asghar last week insisted the club are not looking to cash in.

Instead, he wants the 24-year-old to lead Robbie Neilson 's side next term.

And Shankland hopes he can repay that faith by continuing to find the net.

He told The Courier : “It’s always nice to hear that. You want to be part of the plans at any football club.

“That’s what I aim towards every day by working hard.

“If I keep scoring goals, I’ll manage to keep myself in there.

“That’s the main thing for me and hopefully we can get this league won sooner rather than later.”
