The last of SAF’s acquired players. Sad ending to his career at Man Utd, but it was overdue for him to change his role at the club. Goodbye legend.

What was he on, $400k/week? Even at his peak he wasn't worth that much, and he'd been on it for a long time after he'd passed his peak.

At his peak he was absolutely worth that. If it wasn’t for him they would be a mid table team rather than securing CL spots many of those seasons.

Feels like just yesterday he stole donuts from Tesco.

Crazy to think but he really has dropped off a cliff the last few years and doesn't fit Ten Hags system at all. Not a United fan so I would have liked to see him stay lol

Will always be a legend of the club

He never really developed his weaknesses and always was the same player. Really good in his strengths but had holes in his game

His weakness become more apparent since opponents study him for a decade and knows exactly what he is not capable of. His strength are deteriorating due to aging. The shots he could save ten years ago, he can’t do it now.
