DE BOER – WHY I SNUBBED UNITED

Last updated : 20 October 2003 By Editor
"Sir Alex called me on the phone - he said he was interested
in me joining Manchester United and said he wanted me to be
part of his team. He said he thought I would fit in quite
nicely at United but he also said that the only two players
he would not rotate were David Beckham and Roy Keane.
Beckham, with the type of game Manchester United played, was
needed for those balls that he can deliver into the box and
he always delivered them. Although Sir Alex was committed to
rotating his players, he still needed results and with
Beckham and Keane in his team, they delivered results. I do
not have any doubts that I made the right move coming to
Glasgow - sometimes I watch Manchester United playing on TV
and imagine what it would have been like, but the most
important thing is that I've enjoyed every moment here in
Glasgow with Rangers.''
