To have somebody like that, who won't be fazed by playing in the big games, makes the squad look really strong. The defence is obviously doing really well as well, with Ashley Young back, Luke Shaw fit and Chris Smalling and Phil Jones really solid, so I don't think they need to do any more business this month."</blockquote>
