Fergie to give him more of a role next season:
"You can't afford to let your confidence drop just because
you miss a chance. I kept working hard as I always try to do
but the goals give you a better feeling. I have been a
substitute many times since I have been with United but all
you can do is wait for your chance and then take it.
Hopefully that is what I have done tonight.”
Fergie feels that Diego suffered from Ruud’s amazing form
last season:
"Diego scored some really important goals for us last season
and made a major contribution to winning the title. The
problem was that in the run-in to the championship Ruud hit
a vein of form which was incredible. Playing Ruud up front,
with either Ryan or Paul just behind, proved beneficial for
us. I didn't want to change it so Diego suffered for the
form of the team. But he is only 24 and will improve."
