Campbell fights for his place

Fraizer Campbell is determined to make the most of his playing chances amidst Manchester United's injury crisis.

The striker made his league debut for the defending champions against Newcastle on Sunday and he was a live-wire up-front.

And despite interest from other clubs, the 20-year-old is not looking for a move away from the club he joined in 2004. Even if it's on loan.

The reported interested from former loan club Hull City will not tempt him this time. For Campbell, the experience of playing alongside Wayne Rooney in front of 75,000 fans at Old Trafford is everything he has worked for in his fledgling career.

“It’s difficult to put into words what it felt like,” he said. “It’s great. It’s what I’ve been working for ever since I joined this club so it was great to get out there. I hope to get more chances in the team, I’ll be sticking around for a bit.”

Playing against Newcastle was a bittersweet moment for the 20-year-old striker. Named in the starting line-up for the first time in the Premier League, Campbell turned in a real livewire display up front. Despite being held to a draw by Kevin Keegan’s side, the Huddersfield-born forward relished the experience.

“Obviously on your debut you wanted everything to go well, but I really enjoyed myself and I think we were unlucky not to get the result that we deserved,” he told MUTV.
