“It was a very difficult decision to turn down and I felt we had to do it, but it didn’t work out, thus judged the former Red Devil. The latter, however, confirmed that the enthusiasm of Mancunian supporters for the comeback of the five-time Ballon d’Or on the banks of Irwell was there. “I felt like it was a good thing when he signed and the fans felt it against Newcastle. He was still one of the best scorers in the world”explained the Scandinavian.
