Gordon Banks:

"He has shown himself to be athletic and very agile, and his distribution of the ball is particularly good," said Banks.

"Most of all, though, I have been impressed with the way he commands his area. I always thought that that was one of the strongest parts of my game, and he has displayed the same kind of authority in the penalty box."

"He is only 25 years old, and I know that I didn't peak as a 'keeper until I was about 29,providing he plays regularly at United, and there's no reason why he won't, I expect him to get even better. Keepers mature later than outfield players, and the experience he should gain in the next few years will be invaluable to him."
