It was definitely difficult at first because I arrived here after a long period of negotiations, and then, after three or four weeks, the injury came: it was an unfortunate episode.

Jacob Devaney is a son of football, one of those young players born where they were simply because of where their father was playing the game at the time. The Manchester United Under-21s captain is a Yorkshireman by dint of his father, former Birmingham City and Coventry City youth player Martin Devaney, playing for Barnsley in 2007. Now 18, Devaney joined United when he was six years of age.
