The £24million midfield ace claims he had the chance to move from Barcelona last summer, soon after helping down Alex Ferguson's men in the Champions League final.

"When I was talking about renewing my contract, United asked if I wanted to sign.
"Manchester United is a big club, one of the biggest in the world. But City was an interesting challenmege for me."
