United’s top scorer Souleymane Doukara wants to add even more goals to his game as he becomes more confident on the pitch.

To date the frontman has netted seven times for United – five times in the league and twice in the Capital One Cup – and he says that goals give him confidence on a matchday.

“When you score goals you gain confidence,” said Souleymane. “You know your partner and they know you.

“I want to score in every game.

“English football is my football. I love all the stadiums in the England and when I get onto the pitch I want to score and win the game. I want to play well.

“This is a hard league. You have to run and work hard to earn the game.

“It is physical and it’s not easy for new players to come into the Championship. I enjoy the physical side of the game, this is not a problem for me.”

The striker was among 15 new arrivals in the summer and he has praised some of the fellow new signings.

“We have a positive squad,” added Doukara. “We want to win all the games but that isn’t easy. We can win the game on Saturday.

“Adryan is a very big player for the team, so is Marco Silvestri. They are both big players for the team and I think they can do well for the whole season.

“Adryan is getting stronger and his confidence is getting better.

“I played against Mirco (Antenucci) last season in Italy and he is a very good striker.

“He is a big striker for us and I think he’ll score more goals for the team.”

United’s next game is against league leaders Derby County and Souleymane has spoken about remaining focused for the whole 90 minutes.

“I’m confident with the table. We just have to win some games and we’ll move up the table,” he said.

“We have a very good squad. We are happy to all stay together. The team is happy.

“It will be a big game and we will have to stay focused for the whole game.

“We want to win the game for the fans.”
