He continues in Dagbladet:
"I never made unrealistic targets for myself. We have 25 great players at United, so there was no need to rush it.
"I really want to come back better than ever when it goes bad. I want to prove that I can be better.
"Everyone must handle things going against them, it's then you get to see what people are made of.
"I want to play an important role for United this season. It's up for me to get in good shape. If I play well, I also play many games. I like that all is up to me."
OGS says he pleased we have signed Smith although it makes competition for places a little harder.
"I'm glad that he plays for us and not against us. Do I need to say more?
"Of course the players are hungry to win back the title. It was sore for us when Arsenal won the Premiership.
"Football needs mental strength and concentration. We fell a bit down and that was enough. It's minor things that divide the best from the second best and we need to be 100 percent."
