Manchester United’s Mikael Silvestre who has regained full fitness after a long spell on the sidelines has claimed that he is now waiting to play his part of the role for the Red Devils in their quest for double title glory.

The 30-year old spent most of this season on the sidelines after he injured his knee ligament in a match against Everton at Goodison Park in September.

He made his comeback to the squad in the Red Devils 2-0 win over AS Roma in the Champions League quarter finals second-leg.

The Frenchman was delighted to be playing once again instead of just watching it from the stands.

“It’s been great football to watch,” Silvestre told Manchester United Radio. “The boss encourages the side to play attacking football, which suits the fans and the English game.

“I’ve been particularly happy with how the team have been performing at the back. There’s a good understanding between the players, whoever’s been playing there. I think we deserve to be top of the league because we don’t concede many goals.”

“Physically I felt quite good [against Roma],” he said. “Even the day after I was fine.

“Walking out of the tunnel before the game was very special and I was really looking forward to getting back on the pitch.

“It’s always a pleasure to come back from injuries, especially in front of a full house on a European night.
