“I also enjoy the club, which gives me the conditions to constantly develop. We had a fantastic summer and fall when we went from the bottom to a medal. It was my first medal in Sweden, which I am very proud of.

” United has the best audience in the series, they follow us in the contingency. I also feel appreciated by the fans which means a lot to me. Promises to come with some S.A.M.B.A even in the coming season (laughter)”.
