But United were top dogs in English football during that period, which meant he enjoyed a hugely successful period at the club.

Despite only playing 61 games, he won the league on three occasions and the Champions League in 2007-08.

But he did feature five times in Europe during the Champions League winning season and also started the 2010 League Cup final win against Aston Villa.

Following his retirement, he revealed he still watches the Red Devils and gets as much enjoyment as when he was on the pitch.

He said: “I’ve got two season tickets and I love sitting with the fans.

“I’m just in normal seats, not far from the away fans and I can go and shout the team on. I love it, I love it, it’s great.

“I’m screaming from a different angle now, I used to scream from the goal, now I scream from the stands!”
