But Murphy told BBC Radio Humberside he was happy to stay with United, despite relegation looking likely. He said: "I came to Scunthorpe to play football, and I have nearly got two full seasons under my belt.
"As long as I am playing, I am enjoying it. I do not like the defeats, and I do not want to get relegated but I came here to play football.
"I am going to enjoy the battle in trying to stay up - and next season, whether it is Championship or League One football, I am here to stay."
