Danny Guthrie: "When I was growing up, the top midfielders were the Keanes and the (Patrick) Vieiras, and the Gerrards and the (Frank) Lampards were coming through.

"They are the top players, and I still look up to players like that.

"The aim is to be up there being mentioned in the same breath as them.

"It's good to play with someone like Nicky Butt. He's been there and done it.

"I am still only 21, so I can keep learning from him. I am really enjoying playing with him. It's a good partnership we are building.

"When I was at Manchester United, you always watched the first-team games - and he was the one playing alongside Paul Scholes, Roy Keane and top players like that.

"I wouldn't have thought I would be playing alongside him a few years on."
