"There is never a nice way to leave any club but I still think it was the right thing to do.
"Myself and the manager were in agreement, the manager had to look at the bigger picture, which is what I am doing now about my future with Celtic. I don't lose any sleep over what happened in November. I have spoken to the manager since I left and I have met him twice. It has been very amicable. We had come to the end."
Says that he hasn't been back because, "I don't want to be one of those players who come back and are in your face all the time," however he does offer a comment about United this season:
"It was always going to be tough for United with Chelsea doing so well, and though they won the Carling Cup I'm sure the manager and staff will be saying that is not enough. It will be tough next year, too, but there will be a few players leaving, others coming in and they have got some good young players coming through. I will always have an interest in United, my heart will always be here, and I am sure United is in safe hands."
