Man Utd striker Wilson happy to drop down to U21s

Manchester United striker James Wilson is happy playing U21 football.

Wilson saw action on Sunday against Chelsea, but is prepared to drop down to the U21s when first team chances are limited.

He told manutd.com: "It's very, very important because if I'm not getting the minutes on the pitch for the first team, then I'll be happy to play for the Under-21s and get my match fitness in. You can simulate a game in training but it's never going to be the same as a 90-minute game. So it will be good to get minutes on the pitch for the Under-21s as well.

"Adnan (Januzaj) hadn't been playing in the first team so he was moved down just like I was. Everyone' s doing well really."
