Eagles eager for more

Chris Eagles hopes to have made a strong enough early-season impression to remain a part of Sir Alex Ferguson's plans for the rest of the campaign.

Eagles played himself into Sir Alex's senior scene after greatly improving his game in the last 18 months, following loans with Watford and NEC Nijmegen.

The young winger has made five senior appearances so far this term but, with United's injury worries gradually clearing up, he is realistic about his chances of getting such regular look-ins in the coming months.

"The gaffer has his starting eleven and the subs will no doubt be other first team players because they’ve got the experience," Eagles told ManUtd.com.

"But the more we’re involved the more it will change round and the players that aren’t performing will drop down. That’s the way it’s always been at this club.

"The longer we’re here and involved hopefully we’ll be nearer the top of that pecking order."
