"The basic setup here is pretty much the same as at Spurs, but this is just such a massive club.

"I had an idea of the size of it before I joined, but it just hits you when you arrive.

"The expectation is huge and you have to win at all costs.

"I hope (the move to Manchester United) will enhance my chances of forcing my way into the England team.

"If you're playing on the biggest stage, like the Champions League, it is going to give you the best possible chance to perform at the highest level.

"Of course, it's up to me and how well I play, but I'd hope to be involved in the game against Andorra.
