Former Man United star reveals he is 'still in pain' from the injury that nearly ended his career, as he opens up on his controversial move to Old Trafford, the challenges of replacing Roy Keane... and drinking cups of tea with the Irishman

A former Manchester United star has detailed his controversial arrival at the club and the injuries he sustained during his playing career that still plague him to this day.

Sir Alex Ferguson led United into an unprecedented era of Premier League dominance during the late 90s and early 00s.

Arriving at a dressing room full of big personalities for the most successful club in the country during that time would have been a daunting task for any player.

Couple that with being just 23, and having previously stated publicly that you would never play for the club, making an impression would have no doubt been no easy proposition.
