Maya: We will need you to be our 12th player!

To play 100 times for Manchester United, it’s amazing – although I actually had no idea until Marc told me following the game on Sunday!

It was a nice surprise after the win. I feel very lucky to have been given the opportunity to play so many games for this club, and hopefully I will play many more.

I like to help the team where I can and to start the scoring off on Sunday was really positive. I scored on my first appearance and now on my 100th, so that feels very special.

They are great milestones to hit.

When I first joined I was still only 20 and I looked up to a lot of the players.

I remember wondering if I was good enough to play for United. I learnt a lot off the players and staff and kept pushing myself, and now I hope I am a player that people look up to for experience and composure in the big games.

I think I have definitely got better on the ball, in my all-around game, and as a person.

There have been challenges and overcoming them makes you stronger.

We had fans out in Bergen and we are always appreciative every time you travel.

At London City on Sunday, we could hear you so loudly – another long journey (if not as long as Bergen!) and it was a lunchtime kick-off in London.

You travel with us everywhere we go and having a Champions League group-phase place on the line at home, we’ll need you to be our 12th player to help us get over the line.
