KIERAN RICHARDSON STILL WANTS TO BE A UNITED PLAYER

Last updated : 05 April 2005 By editor

"I'm definitely going back to Manchester United," says Richardson. "I want to be a United player. At the moment I'm a West Brom player but I'm still contracted to Manchester United.

"I'm playing well and the fans have taken to me but I'm hopefully going back to Old Trafford at the end of the season. But this is a great experience for me. I just hope I'm playing for United against West Brom in the Premiership next season. That would be the dream and I'm hoping the fans will welcome me back.

"It has really helped me playing regularly in the Premiership. I really feel stronger and am reaping the rewards of the experience. If you play week-in and week-out, you get used to the tempo of the Premiership and I think I have come on as a player.

"I think this loan move is only going to benefit Manchester United in the sense of hopefully I'll go back to them a much better player and establish myself in the Premiership. Am I giving Sir Alex Ferguson food for thought? I should think so. I am playing quite well at the moment.

"I have come here to play regular football, get stronger physically and I think I'm doing that at the moment. I've never even played two games in a row for United."
