Wilson grateful to senior Man Utd teammates

Manchester United striker James Wilson is grateful for the mentoring of his senior teammates.

After making his senior debut in May under the interim management of Ryan Giggs, Wilson has since earned the trust of Louis van Gaal.

He told United Review: "The first few weeks were I suppose a bit strange because I hadn't been around the players for long, which is natural. But the lads were all great with me and were constantly speaking to me.

"I would say that I am a bit of a quiet person anyway, but they have helped me to progress as a person and a footballer. The point was probably just after the first two weeks when I was getting on the bench and making a few appearances. It was then when I thought 'I'm in the squad now'."
