STAND AND DELIVER

John O'Shea believes the pressure of this season has helped him to mature.

"When things are going well, everything seems rosy, but when they aren't,
and everyone is criticising you, that is when you have to grow up and mature.

"Experience tells you that there is another game next week to prove the critics
wrong.

"I have learned a lot this season because the expectancy levels at
Manchester United are so high.

"Over the last few years we have either been ahead in the league or behind
by only a few points.

"It's a different scenario this year, although we do have the FA Cup final
ahead of us and a fight for second place, so we should have the same
mentality as we have always had."
