John O'Shea admits he would quit Manchester United if he felt he wasn't a chance of getting a game.
"I would never stay at a club just for the sake of winning a medal," he said. "If I felt I wasn't playing a part I would leave. That has always been the case.
"I know Roy Keane's said that 20 games for United is better than 40 anywhere else but I don't buy into that idea.
"As a footballer, you want to play as often as you can, no matter what club you are at.
"You could say I have been rewarded for my patience. But whether you are playing a bit part or a bigger part I was always confident, if I got a run in the team, I could show I could stay in it."
