Manchester United defender Ritchie de Laet says his loan spell at Norwich City was a steep learning curve.
The Belgium international was forced to cut short the loan due to injury.
"It was something new obviously, going into the Premier League, but I'd been on loan before so that wasn't a huge shock to me," De Laet told Sky Sports.
"It started off really well, scored a goal and made a few mistakes, which is bound to happen to a young player new to that level of football. Every time I made a mistake I got punished for it and then the injury didn't help matters."
