I found leaving Manchester United very, very hard.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was always taught by my father to challenge myself and to continue to evolve in my career, and I saw the move to Manchester United as an opportunity to grow as a player and as a person.
I felt within myself that I needed to change what I was doing. I needed a new stimuli. So the interest from Manchester United was a perfect fit.
I will never forget how I have been treated here by the fans, the club and the owners, and nothing would give me greater pleasure than to finish my career as a Manchester City player.
I always planned to retire when I was at the top and at Manchester United I have reached the pinnacle of my career.
When it comes to losing with United, I feel solely responsible for it. I can't help it. My brain will work like mad after a defeat. I want to know where I have made the wrong decisions, how I could have changed things for this fantastic club.
But then I always wanted to play for Rangers. Man United is a great club and Alex Ferguson is a legend.
My early ambitions were the same as they are now - to play for Manchester United. I was, and still am, football mad.
If one day I leave Arsenal, I will never sign for another English team. Quite sure.
I have always considered myself to be very fortunate. To play for the biggest club in the world, which also happens to be the team I supported as a boy, means I have never had to consider changing away from Manchester United.
I had a hard time at Chelsea mainly because I was injured much of the time. Every time I recovered from one injury I seemed to get a new one and it set me back again.
