I feel like I&#8217;m at home and a big factor in my choice to come here is because it is a family place and a good place for good players to showcase their skills.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;Another factor is the conversations I had with [Hansi Flick] were positive. What he did last season was terrific. To lead such a young team to a very successful season and come back to pre-season and still want to do more, it shows me everything I thought I knew about the club and it&#8217;s everything I wished.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;I&#8217;m eager to learn the Barcelona way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Here at The Manchester Evening News, we are dedicated to bringing you the best <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/all-about\/manchester-united-fc\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Manchester UnitedLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Manchester United<\/a> coverage and analysis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Make sure you don&#8217;t miss out on the latest United news by joining our free WhatsApp group.
