Benitez said: “I see Sergio as an integral part of our team. He’s a winner and that’s what we need.”
“The president has already commented that he is staying with the club.”
BBC reports that Benitez, have spoken to Ramos at length in the summer about his ideas, about his future.
Benitez said; “For me, he is an enormous professional. He does everything that the team and I ask of him.”
Real’s interest in David De Gea prompted United, believing Ramos was keen to move after the Spanish club failed to offer him an extension to his contract, which expires in 2017.
Ramos is part of the Real squad on a pre-season reports it is believed he will be named club captain this season following the departure of Iker Casillas to Porto.
