From United's site:
''I know the club are probably going to bring in at least one new midfielder.
''But being at United has always meant that you're going to be up against very good players anyway.
"I'm dying to get a chance. It's been the season that I go out on loan that suddenly a lot of spaces open up in the midfield. I guess it just wasn't meant to be for me last season.
"In the previous season there was too many midfielders, there was a massive queue.
''This year the opportunities might have been there, but you just realise you can't do anything about it."
