HE'S SO FINE

Mikael Silvestre believes that he is getting better all the time and is more than happy playing in the centre of United's defence.

"I think I have improved every year,"

"At the start of the season I set myself goals, areas to work on. Then, after every game, I analyse myself so I know what I have done well and what I need to work on.

"I don't study videos, I already know what mistakes I have made, so I know where I can improve. You play so many games, there is always something to work on.

"In previous seasons I have wanted to play central defence because I believe my qualities are better suited to it.

"Playing at left-back was hard physically - you have to be clever at the back and good going forward. Now I prefer to concentrate on being good at the back and helping to concede fewer goals."
