Duff under no pressure to make point

Damien Duff is adamant he has nothing to prove to anyone but himself after quitting Premiership champions Chelsea.
Close friend and now Newcastle team-mate Shay Given had on Monday stated Duff would be "hungry to prove a few people wrong at Chelsea". But in completing a cut-price 5million move to United, and signing a five-year contract, Duff is just eager to play football regularly rather than endure bench life under Jose Mourinho.
"I had a great three years at Chelsea which I thoroughly enjoyed, and I'd like to think they enjoyed me as well," said Duff. "But I just want to get back playing. I just want to play week in and week out because when I do that I am at my best."
