“Believe it or not, when I trained, from time to time I would go to play as a defender,” he told manutd.com.
“And my teammates were looking at me when I go to play as a defender. Rio (Ferdinand) would say to me ‘Berbs, what are you doing here? Go up there, man.’
“But I played as a defender because I wanted to know how the defender is thinking when he’s defending.”
