Now my future is fixed, all I want is to help this team achieve what I believe we can and win trophies again, together.
Â
'As one of the senior players in the squad, I want to support and lead in any way that I can to assist the younger players, so they know what it means to play here.Â
Â
'I still feel that I have so much more to achieve at the club and I truly believe that Manchester United can build on the club's tradition of success and reward our fans for their support.
