He faced the responsibility of becoming an important player at Man United \u2014 United, like us, are one of the biggest clubs in the world \u2014 too young. He suffered a bit with this change of generation at United too.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018If you see United in the last five years, they had difficulties rebuilding the team, to become stronger again. He was there. So it\u2019s not easy for a player [from whom] people demand a lot. When you are an important player, you have a lot of responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We were looking for a player like him on the market. A player that could play in the three positions up front. We were able to sign Marcus on loan now because of his desire to play for Barcelona. He waited a lot. He knew that we were dealing with financial rules. But he was patient. He waited and we\u2019re happy to have him.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>For more stories like this,\u00a0check our sport page<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Follow Metro Sport for the
