West Ham defender Ben Johnson says he'll play where needed for manager David Moyes.

Johnson featured as a right winger in Sunday's defeat at Manchester United.

He told whufc.com: I'm happy to play wherever the manager wants to put me.

I used to play there when I was younger and I enjoy that role, but getting my bearings again in that position does take a little time. But I like to think I'm willing to learn and I can do that job. I want to fill in wherever the team needs me and do the best I can.

I can definitely take some positives from Old Trafford. Of course, I can only do as well as the team does. I feel like there were some good performances across the group out there and, personally, I just want to keep going and enjoying my football."

Johnson added, "We started well but it's always difficult when you concede a goal against the run of play.

It felt like we were building into the game but when you concede away at a team like Manchester United, it's difficult to come back because you're chasing the match.
