Talking to mutv:

"I'm still working on it and it will have to be done in the next week or so because teams are going back to pre-season training now, if I'm going to join a team, I would rather be in there from the start so hopefully something will come up in the next week."

"I think the ITV money situation has caused a lot of clubs to sit back, hold tight and see what happens. It's just beginning to roll a bit now and we're seeing one or two players are moving so hopefully that will set the ball rolling."

"After 12 years walking in there and seeing them all pre-season year-in, year-out, it will be strange. But don't forget I have been at other clubs before United and while you're going to miss the players and the facilities and being on my doorstep, I want to play for another year.”

"I feel fit enough and hopefully I can get myself sorted out. As for me continuing in the Premiership, we'll see what happens,"
