If you'd have asked me even 3 weeks ago I would have been in favour of selling, but it just felt like his self-belief started to come back a little bit over the last couple of games of the season and there were flashes of excellence. There is nobody else in the squad that shows such care with the ball in the opposition 18 yard box, and if that ability can be harnessed to work with the rest of the team then he can still be a brilliant player. Oddly, given that they let him go, he feels more like a City type of player than United, and if I could have the money he cost back I'd probably sign someone different, but the reality is we couldn't hope to recoup anywhere near what we paid for him, and we have bigger problems to solve.
