PROUD TO BE RED

Gennaro Gattuso has said he doesn't want to come to United despite having contact with the club in the past.

"Some contacts were made — but I see my future at Milan now.

"But you cannot be anything other than proud when the United manager wants to sign you.

"I once said my dream was to play in England and that the team I liked best was United.

"I really like the atmosphere in England and I think my way is probably more suited to English football than Italy.

"English football is the richest championship in the world and they get players now who wouldn't go there in the past.

"It's well managed, the TV set-up works well, they play well and the passion is always very important."
