Hughes excited seeing Bojan improving for Stoke

Stoke City boss Mark Hughes is excited over what he is seeing from Bojan Krkic.

Hughes feels Krkic is getting better with every week.

He told The Sentinel: "Bojan's been playing exceptionally well. That's the level he is used to - games like the one at Old Trafford (on Tuesday).

"He's played in many high profile games. That's how he was introduced to football at that level. That's what he's used to, he won't be fazed by playing on the bigger stages.

"He's played at most of them. He'd played at Old Trafford before, the Emirates, Real Madrid. Big players enjoy that stage.

"I sense that big-stage mentality about him. He demands the ball, he takes responsibility that comes from having confidence in your ability and understanding what's required.

"He's arguably getting better and having a better understanding of this team with every game he plays now."
