Burnley striker Danny Ings insists he is aiming to play and develop wherever he ends up next season . Ings, who has scored nine Premier League goals, is a target for Manchester United and Liverpool . Speaking to The Independent, Ings said: 'One thing I don't want to do is go somewhere and, not rot, but all of a sudden disappear for a while. [Somewhere] you don't really get a look-in. I always back myself and no matter what step I take next I want to do well. 'One thing I do want next year no matter where I am – and I don't know where that is going to be – is to work with a manager who is going to coach me and really develop me as a player. That's all you can ask for, to learn and be the best you can be. It is important that you do get football. A lot of other things can suck you in when it comes to moves and I am sure that it has happened in the past to people. My main aim next year is, wherever I am, to play football and to enjoy it and develop. 'You don't want to have a good couple of years, come through the Championship, have a good first year in the Premier League and then not play in the Premier League for another year or so because that is a backward step. No matter what contract anyone is on it is important that you are playing football. It is a short career and you have to earn a living but at the same time playing football is the best way to get better contracts anyway. That's the way I look at things.'
