O'SHEA WANTS NAILING DOWN

Last updated : 07 May 2003 By Editor

John O'Shea doesn't want to be a utility man.

"The one thing I don't want is for people to say I can play anywhere,"

"It's fine for this season because it's done me the world of good but over time I want to stay in one position."

"I don't know what that position will be but at the moment I'd like it to be centre-half, although a lot of people would probably say my best position is full-back."

He also seems to have his head screwed firmly on as well. Talking about the extra attention United's players have to put up with he said:

"You have to be a bit more clued-up about where you go and how you handle yourself,

"When I first came over, I could do anything and get away with it but now there will always be someone to say `that's John O'Shea'.

"You have to be wary of that but I'm glad it's happening. It shows you have had a good season."
