One remarked: ” Man United board should just sign this guy up. Better than Carrick by miles.”
Another chimed in: “Get me Xavi ASAP.”

In 2019, he said: “Who doesn’t like the Premier League?
“The atmosphere, the packed stadiums and the people who play in the Premier League say it’s extraordinary.
“Obviously, if I had to choose, I would choose a big team, [Manchester] City or United, Chelsea, Arsenal or Tottenham.
“Also, [Jurgen] Klopp and [Mauricio] Pochettino and Unai Emery, many people who have gone there are doing an extraordinary job.”
