As it was, United told me 'no chance!' “I am not surprised by his form this season. He has been clean of injuries, save for an operation on his arm which did not keep him out for long, and I have also been able to keep him fresh by resting him in certain Europa League games."I think he is the right-back to give us the maximum we can in terms of our attacking football.”</blockquote>
