Thanjk you.

I'm undoubtedly reading too much into it but ffs, why use phrasing like this when referring to his early struggles during that year?
"I could see that in his demeanour. In January we bought Juan Mata and that gave everyone a lift but I could see the walls squeezing in, leaving David with less and less room to breathe.
"I know that feeling from 1989, when we went through a terrible spell. You feel you are being crushed. The results gnawed away at David. Nobody could dispute how disappointing the season was. And it cost a man his job."
"When we discussed the candidates that we felt had the right attributes, we unanimously agreed on David Moyes. David is a man of great integrity with a strong work ethic. I've admired his work for a long time and approached him as far back as 1998 to discuss the position of assistant manager here. He was a young man then at the start of his career and has since gone on to do a magnificent job at Everton. There is no question he has all the qualities we expect of a manager at this club."
ROY KEANE'S war of words with 'disgraceful' Jose Mourinho has rumbled on, with the Corkman dismissing the Chelsea manager's suggestion that his anger is part of a plan to book boost sales.
Keane lashed out at Mourinho for his attempts to shake hands with Paul Lambert and his assistant before the end of the Blues' Premier League win over Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge last month.
When Keane was asked about it at his book launch in Dublin, he branded the Portuguese's actions as 'disgraceful.'
In response, Mourinho implied that perhaps the Irishman wanted to sell books.
That drew an angry rebuttal from Keane, who is continuing his promotional activities for 'The Second Half' this week along with his ghostwriter Roddy Doyle. They appear on stage together at an event in the RDS tonight.
"I saw his response and I just thought he had a week to prepare his answer and I thought he would come up with a better answer than that because I am sure he would have had people telling him what might need to be said," said Keane, in an interview with the 'London Evening Standard''.
"But I would say exactly the same again. It has got nothing to do with the book. You shake hands with someone at the end of the game. I think it was disgraceful. Do you think I am some sort of robot on a PR trip to sell books?
"If you ask me a question whether people should shake hands before the end of the game, whether it is non-league, I would say it was disgraceful. It is nothing to do with Mourinho, it is any manager. I think he said the other day he would do it again and that's fine. I have no control over him."
Manchester United have offered the former Barcelona goalkeeper Víctor Valdés the chance to complete his rehabilitation from a serious knee injury at Old Trafford.
The 32-year-old, who has been linked with a possible move to Liverpool, tore cruciate knee ligaments in March and is without a club after leaving the Camp Nou at the end of last season and United’s manager, Louis van Gaal, has given the free agent, who won six La Liga titles, an opportunity to train at the club.
A statement on Manchester United’s official website read: “Valdés, a free agent, will have his recovery supervised by the United medical staff before training with the first team, as he bids to regain full fitness.”
The club did not confirm whether the player would be offered a contract.
