FERGUSON PRAISES THE OLD MAN

From Soccernet:

'You have to look at Ryan's age, he has been going up and down that left wing for 15 years. There is no player in the Premier League who has lasted that long, or achieved what he has in that time. We have to view that very importantly.’

'In Park, we have signed a very mobile, quick, energetic player who can play on the left and right hand sides, as well as in central midfield. But the games where he impressed me most were the ones when he was playing on the left and then come infield, which I find very interesting. We will start him from there to begin with and then see how it develops.'
