Danny Simpson is delighted with his new Manchester United contract.

The fullback penned a deal last week through to 2010 and he told MUTV: "When the gaffer called me in to talk about a new deal I was buzzing, especially when he said about me signing for another three years.

"I couldn't ask for anything more."

And Simpson hopes to be back in full training at the end of next week as he continues his rehabilitation following hernia surgery.

He added: "Hopefully in ten days' time I'll be back training with the team. I'm just focusing on getting myself fit and building up my strength.

"I want to keep training well with the first team and hopefully I'll be involved in a few of the upcoming games."
