The young defender told MUTV, "Hopefully in ten days time I'll be back training with the team. I'm just focusing on getting myself fit and building up my strength. I want to keep training well with the first team and hopefully I'll be involved in a few of the upcoming games."
Simpson also spoke of his delight at being offered a new contract. "When the gaffer called me in to talk about a new deal I was buzzing, especially when he said about me signing for another three years. I couldn't ask for anything more."
