SAF had no choice in that one. The big man wanted to rest his ageing body and go off to warmer a climate to recover from the challenge of playing so many games for such a successful team. Let's face it, he was never the same when he returned to the Premier league and look who he ended up playing for. I mean, European football, you're having a laugh. He's another hero who did it all in England, anyway, so United rewarded him by not standing in his way when he wanted to slow down.
The only real exercise he got after leaving was picking the ball out of the net more often!!
