Taken from norwegian paper VG (with thanks to Henki):

After training with United for a week, Ronny Johnsen is now back in Norway. To think about some offers - and make up his mind on whether to go back to United or not.

"I've got some offers to think about, and don't really know what's happening."

The norwegian defender accepted Sir Alex's offer to get in shape with United last week. Training twice a day has been the norm for the player who refused a new one-year deal with United. He wanted at least two years.

Now Johnsen is considering to keep on training with United, he's got the opportunity.

"Have United offered you a similar contract like in the close season?"
"I don't want to comment on that."
 
"Would it be interesting?"
"Maybe"

"Is United's attitude changed after they bought Rio Ferdinand?"
"It hasn't changed for me" said the 32 year old - who really enjoyed meeting up with his old team-mates, "It's always nice seeing them again, and of course United are a fantastic club", says Johnsen.

He kept quiet about what other options he has available:

"I'm not in a hurry and will continue to take my time on this decision" says Ronny, who's been linked with Bolton and Aston Villa.
