Neil Wood has today spoken of his delight in coming to Turf Moor in an initial one month loan deal. The 21 year old, Trafford born player is available for the game against Wigan tomorrow. Read:

"I am more than happy to come here..."

Today we bring you a summary of the LET interview with Neil Wood, the Manchester United Reserve team player, who has joined the clarets on a one month loan deal.

Wood admits that he is fighting for his football life.

"I don't know what the future holds for me at United, so I am more than happy to come here and get some games under my belt.

"My contract is up at Old Trafford in the summer and I might have to look elsewhere because nothing has been said about a new deal.

"There are good players ahead of me at United and going out on loan will help me to get experience. "

Wood explained that Stan asked him about coming to Turf Moor during the Christmas Eve, behind closed doors friendly (certainly worth it then!) and the move had gone on from there.

"Stan pursued the deal and I am delighted to be here. I had been looking to go out on loan for a while and a few second Division sides had expressed an interest in me.

"I was keener to play in Division One, though, so this move is perfect for me."

He finishes by explaining how he primarily sees himself as a midfielder, and being left footed that could be very useful. Equally he has been surprised with Burnley's league position.

"...there are a lot of good players here at Burnley. With the squad they have, I'm surprised that they are struggling in the First Division and I'm sure I will learn a lot of things while I am here."
