"It is not about making the choice difficult for Sir Alex," he said in The Sun.

"For me, it's about being number one. That is what it's all about — playing. I enjoy competing and, so far, I feel very good.

"There is big competition in all the spots but, so far, I'm very satisfied with my own performances.

"I think I've played very well so I believe in my chance. If I didn't believe in my chance, how could I expect other people to?

"I'm not scared at all. I am very proud of representing Manchester United.

"It is the biggest dream in my career come true."

The 27 year-old arrived from Aalesund earlier on in the year and has since appeared twice during United’s pre-season tour of America.
