‘United made it clear that it was a project until the summer, then we’ll see,’ he told Bild.

‘Until then, I want to give everything here. It’s a loan deal without an option. In the summer, the situation will be evaluated

‘But I can say that I found my place here. Now I know the and can say there’s nothing better, more intense and tougher. Every game is a fight. It’s the best league in the world. When you play once here you know it’s incomparable

‘Of course my thoughts are on United, especially with the trust I get from – it’s very positive. But I’m not the only one who decides

‘There’s competition at every top club. At United, it’s even more extreme than in Munich. Here there’s McTominay, Eriksen, , Fred and me. If I was afraid of competition, I wouldn’t have joined neither Bayern nor United.’
