De Laet: Lambert has Norwich set up similar to Man Utd

Manchester United defender Ritchie de Laet enjoyed playing for Norwich City boss Paul Lambert.

De Laet had a spell on-loan at Norwich earlier this season.

He told Sky Sports: "The chance to work with a great manager in Paul Lambert down there was good too because he helped pick me up after those mistakes were made.

"The way he runs the club there is very similar to here at United, so overall the loan spell helped me a lot. You can't compare training to playing first-team football in the Premier League because it is played at such a high intensity and pace.

"However, training alongside world-class players here at United every day can help you fine tune your game and helps you develop as a player."
