I think had he behaved himself he might have stayed on another season at United but In the end I think Sir Alex was happy to get rid because of the friction between him and Carlos.
He wasn’t as good as he was before his hip op in 2003 but It’s easy to forget that his last full season in 04-05 was pretty good in terms of his performances. His stats for that season are excellent and he put in some dominant displays in big games at Anfield and Highbury.
It’s also interesting that Brian Clough said he should have dropped back into being a centre back as he got older. There was talk of it after he played really well in a match against Juve as a centre back. I wonder if he could have prolonged his career that way?
