SHORT TERM MICKEY

Last updated : 13 September 2002 By Editor

When asked If he will see out the rest of his career at OT Mickey Silvestre
didn't seem too convinced:

"I don't want to say for the rest of my career because I hope I have another
ten years in me. I hope that I can keep playing here for the next few years,
though. You're guaranteed to be playing in the Champions League here, and
that's what you want as a player.

And on playing out of position:

"I do like to play in the centre of defence, as you have more control over the
game there, more influence. The side stems from the centre-back, and at
United we tend to play down the right a lot more than the left. But there's no
problem for me playing at left-back for United, I enjoy it. I play centre-back for
the national team, so I have the best of both worlds."
