Seba is still fuming about his Old Trafford exit, probably because he didn't have the chance to show the United faithful what he was capable of. But this is a new beginning for Seba...

But, before he makes his new start, he told the Evening Standard "Ferguson wasn't sincere with me. Two months ago a couple of clubs expressed an interest and he said I wasn't for sale. He gave me the impression I was wanted. But when there was more money on the table his conversation changed. That's a hard one for me.

"The story [that he was going to sign for Chelsea] was running and running and nobody in Manchester was denying it so I asked Ferguson 'Do you want me in the squad?'.

"Then he came out with the line about Chelsea's offer being very good, financially interesting, tempting. I realised it was all about money. I said I'm not interested in money but if that's what this is about. I guess that was the turning point for me."

You'd have thought it- football being all about money...
