  He told Sky Sports: "When I do go back to the stadium [Old Trafford] it's good because I used to go and watch matches there."

  When asked who was his icon growing up, he revealed it was United legend Wayne Rooney, saying: "Obviously I supported United and he was probably the best player when I was watching them."
