Brighton fullback Montoya keen on Old Trafford revenge

Brighton fullback Martin Montoya wants to make some happy memories at Old Trafford.

The right back was part of the Spain Olympics team in 2012 that drew 0-0 with Morocco in the group stages.

It was a result that took them out of the competition. Montoya still remembers the game and occasion. He wants to create new memories at Manchester United's iconic stadium.

He told The Argus: "I was at Old Trafford in the Olympics in 2012 against Morocco and it's a really nice ground.

"Not such good memories, though – bad because they knocked us out of the group phase.

"We drew 0-0 and ended up third in our group.

"I've played with Juan Mata, Ander Herrera and David De Gea in national teams, both under-21s and the Olympics. All three were there with me as colleagues at Old Trafford. Hopefully I get better memories this time."
