00:26great memories here winning a lot of trophies and I've enjoyed every single

00:34actually in modern football can you just try and describe to us what Manchester

00:43about as a kid is a playing for the first team winning trophies and it's just the
00:49the perfect club and a place where I'm really happy and every single day I come
00:53in I just enjoy it so much seeing all the staff and and the players yes it's a
00:59really together together and family I would say
01:03by the end of this contract you'll have been at the club for 20 years I mean is
01:09that something you could ever ever have imagined when you're a young boy starting
01:12your journey here not in a million years obviously I had a dream to make it to the
01:17first team but yeah to stay this long yeah it's a dream really and like I said I'm just
01:25enjoying it and trying to make the most of it we've got a new manager for the first time in
01:29in 10
01:29years Enzo Moresca taking the reins this summer how excited are you about that appointment and how
01:35much are you looking forward to working with him yeah so excited obviously I've had Enzo before when we had
01:41him in the travel season
01:42he was brilliant his attention to detail the small things that make a big difference and even training
01:50with him at the moment you can tell how good of a coach he is so I'm really excited to
01:57to play under him and yeah see where it goes the impression I get from the outside is that players
02:03really like Enzo you've kind of seen that when he was our EDS manager and then Leicester Chelsea etc
02:09what's he like as a person because you mentioned there you work with him during the treble year
02:13what's he like as a human being? He's so nice he's down to earth he's someone that you can go
02:18to and
02:18talk about anything to him and he would help you out and even if you want to work on things
02:28to get better he'll do one-on-one sessions with you after training and that's something he did with
02:33me as well when he was here and a small finishing drills with him and things like that and he
02:38really
02:39grew my game so like I said I'm looking forward to starting a new season with him and we know
02:44each
02:45other really well so that's that's a good thing as well I think as well just one more on Enzo
02:48the his
02:49style of play plays a really kind of attractive style of place very in keeping with the style that you
02:55you've grown up playing at City that must be enticing for you and very exciting to be involved
03:02with that yeah very exciting you can tell by the first few sessions that I've done with him yeah the
03:08way he likes to play out from the back and and play a lot of possession base and it suits
03:13my game
03:13really well so so yeah I'm looking forward to that and yeah hopefully he can help the game go to
03:20the
03:20next stage you're a player who always takes risks on the pitch you know whenever you get the ball you
03:27want to make something happen you try and play forward you try and do something exciting where
03:32does that desire to play in that way come from from a youth I would say I've always had it
03:37in me from a
03:38young age I always want want to be the one deciding games or making a good assist so that's the
03:45type of
03:45player I'm in and around the box I want to be dangerous and yeah hopefully this season I can pick
03:50up a lot of goals and assist and yeah help the team win games
