People want to play here, they don\u2019t want to be part of any other squad, and that\u2019s the way it is at United.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It comes out of respect for the manager, the club itself and the people who are here before you and present as well.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There\u2019s an unwritten rule here. You see it in the changing-room before games &#8211; there are no cliques.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Players are wishing each other well before games, even if someone else is playing in your position. That\u2019s just the way we are.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The experienced defender also maintained that the upcoming FA Cup clash against Manchester City should be treated as just another game, to avoid underestimating the opponents following their heavy handed defeat to Liverpool.<\/p>\n<p>He said: &#8220;That\u2019s true but that can easily change with one bad result. So we need to make sure we put the bad result they had against Liverpool out of the equation and treat it like any other game.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;City have invested heavily in a lot of players so they\u2019ve got a lot of talented players to come in if Carlos Tevez is injured. You don\u2019t spend \u00a327 million on a player who is average.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Edin Dzeko is a good player, he\u2019s played Champions League football for a few years, he\u2019s won the league in Germany, so he\u2019s a good player.
