But he says: “It’s a really big club, an amazing club - and it’s a lot of pressure, I have to say.
“I’ve played for several big clubs and the pressure is always high. But the feeling you get here is that the pressure is maybe worldwide - and it’s the most I’ve experienced so far.
“It’s not easy to handle that - particularly for young players. But I’ve had some experience of other big clubs so maybe in that sense it could be a little bit easier for me.
“I imagine that for other players it might be a little more difficult. That’s why it’s so important we get the crowd behind us - just to get the confidence in to all the players.”
