Though he might fail to get the much-desired quality game-time under Mourinho next season, the experience goalie told the club’s official page that he was excited seeing that he is being linked with a very huge club such as United.

A critics the former Stoke City goalie, coming to Old Trafford is the biggest decision he’s made since he became a professional player and he is looking forward to impressing José Mourinho in training so as to stand a chance of laying claim for a spot in the Manager’s starting lineup ahead of David De Gea.

He further revealed the happiness among players who are already in camp as they prepare for their first pre-season game on Saturday.

According to him, the players are happy and they are in good shape ahead of their Saturday’s encounter.
