Manchester United defender Paddy McNair is enjoying his flexible role.

McNair has played at centre-back alongside Chris Smalling of late and is enjoying seeing plenty of the ball - only Ander Herrera made more passes against West Brom - even though the results have not been going the Reds' way.

"I quite enjoy having the ball and starting attacks off," he told MUTV. "80% possession is a lot but the game is there to be won. Hopefully, we can take our chances in the next match.

"I used to play in midfield when I was growing up so I was used to moving the ball around my feet. I would say it is one of my strengths. It makes you manipulate the ball better and so on.

"I'm feeling very confident and happy but the main thing is the team winning. If you're in the squad at Manchester United, there are always going to be people challenging for places but the main thing is concentrating on myself. If I get a chance, I've got to try to do as well as I can. I need to just keep confident and play my own game."
