We are delighted Phil has committed his future to the club.Its a signal for the players that we believe in them. Phil has been here for so long. Hes won the Premier League, hes won trophies, he knows what it takes for us to move up the table.

On putting his own stamp on the United side after selling Marouane Fellaini

Well, every day I feel that I do help the club put my stamp on it, yes, but decisions sometimes of players futures are not down to me.Either its the players, do they want to stay, move on but we have a vision and picture of how we want to look in a few years and we have to think long term and also short term.Ive got a picture of what this Manchester United team should look in a couple of years but I put my views to Ed and the club.Marouane Fellaini has ended his five-and-a-half year affiliation with Manchester United4

On Fulham boss Claudio Ranieri

I dont know the ins and outs of the situation at Fulham but what he did at Leicester shows you what capabilities he has as a manager, must be the best achievement ever to win that league.I dont know the word but the team spirit, effort, they believed in themselves, so he is someone Ive looked up to admired, you read books, I know were going to come up against a manager and team that counter-attacking football that hes always had in his teams.Ive copied a couple of his sessions actually.

Focus on Fulham and not Tuesdays Champions League clash against PSG

Fulham is a character revealer, it reveals do we have the focus on whats important which is always the next game and can we forget about PSG.The focus around the PSG game for a long time, Chelsea, Liverpool, but theyre not the games that will move us up the table, theyre the other games.Claudio Ranieri’s Fulham host Man United tomorrow4

Will United be title challenge next term?

I hope so, that they believe they can do that because you cannot outperform your ego, thats one of them mantles you have to trust and believe yourself but youve got to believe in yourself.If you want to be a champion and win its how you prepare for every single game, how we demand, that we focus on every single day in training every single game.Its about Fulham, one game at a time but every single day prepare as best you can and I love to hear players, but that also means a decision.

And finally, the need for ongoing consistency

The last two months been fantastic, with the points weve got. So consistency is a key word now, we have to keep improving, keep winning games.But we want to win games in a better way than the Leicester one. I felt we hung on. It was good enough, but we shouldnt be happy with just good enough. We want to keep improving.

We'd beaten the Royals a week earlier and they looked awful. Ipswich were on fire though and, likewise, avoiding defeat was all they needed. On an incredible afternoon, BOTH results went our way. Despite taking an early lead at Ewood, the Tractor Boys were eventually reigned in and went down 3-2.
