Simmo staying focused
Danny Simpson is refusing to get carried away, despite an
impressive league debut against Wigan during which he set up
United's fourth goal.
The 20-year-old entered the fray just before the half-hour after
injuries to Nemanja Vidic and John O'Shea forced a reshuffle in the
United defence.
Simpson looked completely at home in the right-back slot and capped
his display with a fine centre for Wayne Rooney to head home eight
minutes from time. It was a hugely proud day for Simpson, but he
insists the real hard work is still to come.
"Just because there might be a bit of hype about you after a couple
of games for the first team it doesnt mean youve made it," he
told ManUtd.com.
"Youve almost got to work even harder when that happens to prove
that you can stay in there.
"I was really pleased that I was able to set up Wayne for the
fourth goal. All the lads came running over to me and it was just a
really mad feeling, especially as all my family were at Old
Trafford that day.
"To be playing with the likes of Ronaldo, Paul Scholes and Ryan
Giggs players youve grown up watching was just amazing.
