I never actually thought it was possible to actually be next to Giggs or any other player from United because it was so far from where I was to what I was seeing on TV screens, and if anyone came to me and said: “You will be playing next to Giggs in a few years,” I would say: “Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah… you’re joking, eh?” The road is so different, so difficult.
I think it was four years later that I heard United wanted to sign me.
Crazy.
In such a short time, I had so many teams trying to buy me and invest in me for the future, and obviously it was very important that my agent gave me some good advice.
