July 5th 2009: ”If I play for Manchester City I don’t think the United fans will feel I am a traitor. They have to remember that at least as far as I know I have been thrown out of the club and I have to study the best offers available. I gave everything for Manchester United and people know that. For that reason I don’t deserve the way things have ended up.”
July 14th 2009: “The fact that I am not staying at United is not because of the fans, it is because Sir Alex Ferguson and David Gill did not do enough to keep me there. If it was down to the fans, I would still be there.”
July 16th 2009: “I am sad to leave United.”
July 25th 2009:“I respect United fans because they supported me from day one and I think they will understand my decision.”
July 30th 2009: ”My relationship with the United fans was always excellent. They were very supportive of me, and they will always be close to my heart. I hope I will get a good reception, because I am very fond of them and we had a good understanding.”
August 24th 2009: “Ferguson is history for me but I know that he is scared of playing against us.”
August 27th 2009”I think I deserved more respect than what was shown. It was very strange. In the first year everything went very well – I was part of the team and felt like I was important to the coach and the club. But in the second, there was a big change. There was no communication with the manager and I began to feel as if I was not wanted.”
September 18th 2009:”I expect to have a good reception. While at United, I always gave my best and I had good relations with the fans. They know I did everything while at Old Trafford to try to score the goals that would help the team win matches, so I don’t know why I should have a bad reception.”
September 22nd 2009:”I must admit I did believe I would get a different reception from the United supporters. Initially everything was positive and I was greeted by my former team-mates and United staff without any problems at all. But as soon as I entered the field the atmosphere was very different. It was hard to take because previously I was always wanted by those people.”
September 30th 2009: ”In the derby against United I had also decided not to celebrate our goals but, after the bad treatment I received from the supporters that day, I have changed my stance on that. If I score in the next derby then I am sure that I will celebrate.”
December 4th 2009:“Obviously I was disappointed because I don’t think I deserved to be treated that way. When I was there I was a hard-working and loyal player who gave my all. Obviously I’d be delighted to beat United and reach the final but I still have respect for the club. I won’t celebrate if I score. I don’t want to rub their noses in it.”
Some might argue that it is the norm for players to talk about their former clubs, particularly in the run up to when those teams face each other. But which other players have been so obsessive? © რიPაბლიკ ოფ მანკუნია
