“After the Euros, there was really strong interest" said the 31-year-old. “I’ve got to be careful what I say because I don’t want to get into trouble, but yeah, there was interest. “We had conversations, but Atletico Madrid just wanted my release clause and it was a lot of money for a 30-year-old, so I understand why Man United didn’t do that. There were other clubs interested… “Anyway, it’s gone now, so it doesn’t bother me.”
