Ashton United boss Michael Clegg says he is trying to create a new identity at Hurst Cross.

Clegg, who guided the Robins to the Manchester Premier Cup last season, is relishing the opportunity to deliver success to the loyal band of supporters and volunteers who keep the club going.

We spoke to him ahead of the NPL Premier Division clash against Matlock Town on Tuesday night to get his thoughts on the following topics:

- The season so far

- Relationship with the owners

- Aims and objectives

- The influence Mike Phenix can have following a lengthy period away from the game

- His admiration for the work carried out by Ashton United in the Community
