Simpson seeks United return

Blackburn Rovers loanee Danny Simpson remains confident of securing a long-term future at parent club Manchester United.
The 21-year-old right-back is spending the whole of the current campaign at Ewood Park, having found first-team opportunities limited with the Red Devils.
However, Simpson still has eyes on becoming a star at Old Trafford in the future.
He told the Manchester Evening News: "I saw Rafael's debut against Aalborg on TV and he played really well. But I never looked on it as blocking my way back.
"It's good to see young lads getting a chance. That's what Man United is all about and you don't expect any different. Good luck to him.
"It can all come down to experience in the end and here at Blackburn I'm getting a lot of it in the Premier League every week now.
"If I play 20-30 matches in the Premier League it will make me a better player. I could go back to Old Trafford and the other younger lads then might go out on loan. You just never know. Things change week in week out.
"I don't think the new group of lads emerging shuts the door on the likes of myself. You never know what is around the corner in football.
"When you leave United it could be a case of out of sight out of mind. You might worry about that in the past, but not now."
