Manchester United are winless in their last 5 Premier League fixtures.
“That is why I knew last season was massive for me. My body was feeling those changes and when I went to Milan it was perfect to balance everything and return to this season. That is why I wanted to stay here, fight for games and be an important player for the team”

“I wanted to stay here and the club trusted me to stay here. My mind was completely focused on having an important role in this team. The most beautiful and healthy competition is when there are two or three for each position and you can learn from each other. I’m sure Aaron learns some things from me when I play, I learn from him. Everyone is going to be a part of it this season“
