72 Quotes by James Maddison

Me being at Coventry, instead of a big Premier League club, probably helped me develop. You don't get put in the academy system, playing Under-18s and Under-23s.

I got to play first-team men's football from a young age.

The No.10 position is my favourite role.

I am a player who likes to play in between the lines and try to break that midfield line, whether it's when I receive a pass or can go and show everyone what I am about.

I was always smaller than the rest coming up at Coventry, and I developed physically more in the later stages.

There is no bigger stage than Old Trafford on the opening day of the season.

All the moves I've made have come after I sat down with my family and my agent and thought what was the best move. I've never rushed into something, never gone anywhere where I wasn't sure 100%.

In the academies, people develop differently, and going into that No 10 role helped me because central midfield was always packed with big, strong boys.

I don't get nervous, because I have confidence in my ability.
