From his website:
My last match for Man United against Middlesbrough was a little bit sad because it's always difficult to leave guys that have become friends and who you've enjoyed working with.
I knew it was coming and I knew from the start that if United got through the FA Cup rounds that my last game would be on March 10, so I was prepared for it. Having said that, it was difficult because they are a great bunch of lads and everything about my time at the club was fantastic.
The club itself, the players, the fans and the gaffer have all gone beyond what I could have hoped for. I was only there for 10 weeks but I felt I developed a good relationship with the fans. They have been supportive of the team and me and you can't ask for more than that.
I'm really happy that the United fans understood my game and what I try to do for the team. I know that I might not always be as exciting to watch as some players who have all the skills and trickery, because I don't have that in my locker. I'll never be like a Ronaldinho or Cristiano Ronaldo who can do amazing things with the ball.
But I like to think that I can offer something else to the team in terms of making the right runs, offering options and bringing other players into the game. My movement off the ball is quite decent and I will always give 100 per cent for the team. I might not always achieve everything I set out to do in a match but my effort will always be there.
I will take away a lot of things from my time at United and one of them will be the impression of a club that is so well organised that nothing is left to chance. Nothing is taken for granted and the club will help the players with absolutely anything. You are made to feel part of the most professional set-up. The training facilities are second to none.
There are a lot of great players at United and it would be wrong to single out individuals who I particularly enjoyed playing alongside. The fact is that I enjoyed playing with all of them, because they are a great bunch of lads and they are all great footballers.
I have been in a few dressing rooms in my career and I can say that the atmosphere at United is as good as any I've known. There is a fantastic spirit and great banter. That is probably what I will miss the most simply because I've enjoyed being a part of that family of players.
