I don\u2019t normally react to things I see on social media but there\u2019s a lot of people questioning my loyalty to this club and asking how I am fit for England but not United.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reality is I am not 100% fit for either right now but I am doing everything I can and constantly working to be. I have been at this club for 10 years through highs and lows and for anyone to question my loyalty is obviously frustrating. I appreciate I haven\u2019t updated you all with my injuries and where I\u2019m at with my recovery but equally the most important thing to me is that we\u2019re supporting the team playing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy biggest focus right now is being fit and then whatever happens this summer I will be ready.
