I love the guy for his goals against the scousers but he wasn't a great player when he signed for United, and he didn't become one or really look like becoming one when he was with us. Only when he left did his career take off, and we can only summise that his playing style suited the Spanish league better than ours, and he relaxed when out of the spotlight at a lower profile club (Villarreal) Truth his, he never realy grasped the opportunity given to him at United, for whatever reason. Remember, he left and in his place we got Rooney

Some players just don't fit with Premiership football, and never will. Doesn't make them bad players, it's just one of those things.
