Ryan Giggs and Darren Fletcher made me the player I am today, declares new Celtic signing Saidy Janko

* Saidy Janko was mentored at Manchester United by Ryan Giggs and Co
* Defender has left the Red Devils to join Celtic in the Scottish Premiership
* Darren Fletcher is 'an inspiration' says new Bhoy Janko

The date of birth on Saidy Janko’s Swiss passport reads October 22, 1995. In terms of his football development, however, Celtic’s new defender has very much been shaped by the Class of ’92.

Signed for Manchester United by David Moyes two summers ago, Janko was quickly taken under the wing of Old Trafford legends Nicky Butt and Ryan Giggs.

The idea of a raw teenager playing left-wing for the reserves under the watchful eye of the world-class Giggs — who, along with Butt, David Beckham, the Neville brothers and Paul Scholes were part of the lauded crop of young players who went on to lift the 1999 Champions League together — is certainly a daunting one.

But Janko could not speak higher of the influence Giggs and Butt — plus Scotland’s own Darren Fletcher — had on his game development during his two seasons as a United player.

Their combined input, he feels, means Celtic are taking receipt of a more rounded player, far readier for the first team than the one signed by Moyes for £700,000 from FC Zurich in 2013.

‘I’m a right-back, but I’ve played more as a winger than a full-back the last two seasons — on the left as well as the right — so it was special to get advice from Ryan Giggs,’ said the versatile Janko.

‘We are different kinds of players, of course, but he knew I was not the same type as him, so he told me what I should do. He was always very good with me, but he spoke with all the young players when we first got involved at Manchester United.

‘It was the same with Nicky Butt. He and Giggs were two great guys and you could see that when they trained with us, they still have it. They were still top-class players.

‘It was like one big family at Manchester United, with Butty, Giggsy and Warren Joyce — the Under-21 coach — all helping my development.

‘Darren Fletcher was very good with young players as well. I didn’t speak to Fletch about this move to Celtic, but I always had a good laugh with him. And if he saw that I didn’t do something right on the pitch, he would always try to coach me. He always tried to help me out and I appreciated that.

‘Fletch was also one of those guys who, when anyone had a problem, they would go to him. He was always there for you.

He is an inspiration, even more now when you think about what he has been through (with ulcerative colitis). You have to respect the man.’

One of only two signings made by Moyes during the summer of two years ago, the then 17-year-old’s signing on deadline day was overshadowed by the multi-million pound arrival of Marouane Fellaini from Everton.

After the Scot was sacked, Janko was given his big chance in the first team by Louis van Gaal. But a 4-0 defeat to MK Dons in the Capital One Cup was both the beginning and the end of his United career.

A spell under former Celtic boss, Neil Lennon, at Bolton Wanderers followed before he made a decision he feels many players are too scared to take in departing Old Trafford in the search for regular football.

‘At first I couldn’t believe it when Manchester United came in for me when I was still 17,’ smiled Janko, who will cross paths with Moyes again next Friday night in Paisley when Celtic take on Real Sociedad in a friendly at New St Mirren Park.

‘FC Zurich had played against United in the Blue Stars (FIFA Youth Cup) tournament and I did well. Two weeks later, they sent me an invitation letter and I just couldn’t say no.

‘I had a really good first two years. In the first year I got Reserve Player of the Year. Then the second year I went to Bolton and it was great to work under a great coach like Neil Lennon.

‘I was a bit sad when David Moyes left, but I wanted to impress the new manager. But Louis van Gaal didn’t really speak to me — it was more Ryan Giggs and Nicky Butt.

‘In the end, I didn’t think I would get a chance at Manchester United and I wanted a new challenge.

‘Manchester United is a great club, but a lot of players are afraid to leave simply because it’s Manchester United.

‘I just want to play football and to make the fans happy. I think Celtic is the perfect club for me.

‘Hopefully I can have many good years here.’

Surprisingly, Janko and Lennon did not speak about Celtic during their time together at Bolton, but the teenager says he already knew all about the Parkhead club.

The Swiss Under-19 player faces tough competition for his favoured right-back berth, with Swedish international Mikael Lustig standing in his way.

But Janko is not in Glasgow to sit on the bench and he hopes that winning titles and cups with Celtic, as well as starring in the Champions League, can see him fulfil a dream of representing Switzerland at Euro 2016.

‘It was very good to work with Neil Lennon, but we didn’t really speak about Celtic,’ said Janko. ‘It was more about Bolton’s performance because the English Championship is very hard.

‘But Neil is a great guy and a very good person. And I knew about Celtic anyway because it’s a huge club across Europe. The supporters are great fans and it is a club with a great history.

‘Of course there is competition for places, but I can rise to the challenge. I want to improve, impress the manager and get my spot.

‘If I could play in the Champions League with Celtic, that would be great. That is the main reason (I chose Celtic).

‘I also have international ambitions, but I want to win as many titles as possible, too. And I think, with Celtic, I can do that.’

Saidy Janko: Even players like Lionel Messi and Xavi dream about the atmosphere at Celtic Park... I'm looking forward to that

Saidy Janko has joined Celtic on a four-year deal from Manchester United
The Switzerland Under 19 international bolsters Celtic's defensive options
Janko has targeted Champions League and international football

Saidy Janko admits there was no way he could resist his Hoops switch after listening to icons like Lionel Messi and Xavi rave about Celtic Park.

The 19-year-old full-back has penned a four-year deal with the Glasgow giants after quitting Manchester United.

The Swiss youth international admits the lure of potential Champions League action and the chance to work with boss Ronny Deila were all decisive factors in his move north.

Saidy Janko has targeted Champions League and international football after moving from Man United to Celtic

19-year-old Janko joined his new Celtic team-mates for training on Thursday

'Celtic is a massive club in Europe. I think all over the world people know Celtic, people know the supporters. They have a big stadium too, it's huge.The Champions League is every kid's dream and it is definitely a plus I think.'

The Hoops will have to fork out a compensation fee for Janko - who watched his new team-mates for the first time on Thursday night as they kicked-off their pre-season preparations with a 2-0 win over Den Bosch in Paisley - after he turned down United's offer of an extended stay.

Despite being rated highly by the Old Trafford coaching staff, the defender failed to make a first-team appearance for the Red Devils after being signed by former boss Davie Moyes in 2013.

But he did feature 10 times under ex-Hoops manager Neil Lennon during last season's loan switch at Bolton last season.

However, the former FC Zurich youngster is eager to move on from his frustrating United stint with his new side.

Janko was on hand to watch his new team win a friendly against Dutch second division side Den Bosch

'Manchester United is a big club too and I had a great time there,' he said. 'But I thought I needed a new challenge and here I am.

'United is definitely a hard place to leave because it's one of the biggest clubs in the world.

'But it's hard to leave any place, not just United.

'Am I right to fight for a place here at Celtic now? Yeah definitely, that's what I'm here to do. To get more game time. If I push more, my other team-mates will push more and the whole level gets better. That's good for the whole team.

'I have recently played more in midfield but the manager told me he sees me more as a right-back than a right midfield.'

The east end of Glasgow has become a regular stopping point in recent years for ambitions players hoping to make their way to the riches of the Barclays Premier League.

But Janko is more interested in banking the advice of Hoops boss Deila.

Asked if he saw Celtic as a stepping stone to England, he replied: 'No. I've signed here for four years and I want to do my best. I hope I can please the fans with my performances.

'I'm a Celtic player now and my head is here. I'm not looking to a few years ahead to go anywhere.

'The manager is a very good coach. He spoke with me about many things. He wants me to work on a lot of things and make me better as a player. That's what he told me and I'm happy to do that.'
