The plan was that I was going to retire and take a job with the American Federation, but Nottingham Forest offered me a contract and there was interest from West Ham and another Premiership club.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I retired in 2006, I stayed for a further two years in England. I stayed because I wanted to be in England without being a footballer, without the rhythm. I wanted to enjoy the city.
I played in the Premier League for Blackpool and earned the right to go to a club like Liverpool.
I love football so when I finish playing I would like to still be involved in it somehow and a manager would be my first choice.
I always planned to retire when I was at the top and at Manchester United I have reached the pinnacle of my career.
Nowadays there are too many players who can't get a contract elsewhere, who come to England and just take the money.
I had hoped that the board would accept Johnny Hon's offer of a loan to buy the stadium back for the club, as I think this would be best way of continuing the long tradition of Cambridge United in Cambridge - and it was a generous offer.
My ambition is to go back to Spurs and Rangers in some capacity and give something back that they gave to me.
But then I always wanted to play for Rangers. Man United is a great club and Alex Ferguson is a legend.
I want a new contract. I'm happy at United and I see my future here.
I didn't really think about going to another club; I wanted to be a Tottenham player and play at Tottenham.
