Man Utd striker John Cofie happy with Royal Antwerp experience

Manchester United striker John Cofie is happy with his loan move to Royal Antwerp.

Cofie's priority is playing football every week.

He told The National: "I knew that a lot of former United players had been to Antwerp so I spoke to people like Jonny Evans and Darron Gibson. Then I spoke to my family. We thought it would be a good move for me to be playing competitive football regularly.

"It's better than reserve-team football because it's like a step up from boys to men's football. You play in front of real crowds - Antwerp get around 7,000 for most home games and you are lucky to get 700 at reserve level."
