“That’s a lot of matches and it shows the trust in me. It also shows that I am doing a good job for the team. That was the thing I wanted when I came here – to contribute and try and help the club to be successful to win trophies. We have one now," he said..
"We have two more to go with the Europa League and FA Cup, and we want to get as high as possible in the table and definitely top four for the Champions League. So it just shows me that I am being part of it."

Van Persie hails Malacia
Former United star Robin van Persie has admitted his pride at seeing Tyrell Malacia perform so well at Old Trafford. Malacia has impressed since arriving from Feyenoord, with Van Persie delighted with how his former team-mate has settled in.
"I do believe, per window, [you have] to get a couple of the right players in, and Tyrell Malacia is one of them. He wasn’t really well known before he came," Van Persie said.
"I played with him at Feyenoord, so I knew how good he was, and still is, and he is proving that every game. When it clicks and when it's clear what to do, you can see that they know exactly what to do in ball possession, as well when the opponent has the ball."

Muani makes transfer admission
United appear to have handed a boost to their hopes of signing Randal Kolo Muani, with the Frenchman revealing his desire to join a "big club". Muani is currently starring for Eintracht Frankfurt, but has opened the door to departing the Bundesliga side.
“We talk about it a lot already, but I try to be focused on my club. We continue our performances and we will see this summer. Afterwards, I always dreamed of playing in big clubs,” he told L’Equipe when asked about the reports linking him with an exit.
“I thought I was going to need some time to adapt, maybe a year. But everything exploded. Either way, I’m ready for any challenge. I ask the club to get me my statistics on my matches each time."
