'Pulis' expressed is views on the issue when interview saying:‘It’s a great signing for Stoke City. Obviously, we have got to get him on the pitch. We have to get him fit. That’s the important thing.
'I think Michael has the bit between his teeth. When Manchester United announced they were going to release him, I rang him up and went and spoke to him. He came over as a very honourable lad and I thought, “Good kid.” Everyone speaks highly of him and he just seems to want to play football.
‘He was actually available for a lot of Manchester United matches last season but wasn’t selected. People say he only played so many games. He was available for a lot more. And we think he’s the perfect role model.
‘He’s more than just an impact sub. We want him in the team and playing.’

'I’m delighted to have signed for Stoke City,' he said.
'We have been in talks for a while and it was a club I was always keen to join. I’m particularly excited at the prospect of working under Tony Pulis; he has assembled a great squad that I look forward to joining.
'I’m now looking forward to contributing as much as possible to the Club and can’t wait to play in front of a great set of supporters.'
