“When I took over the club, he was one of the guys who helped. Not just him – we had Joe Hart, Pablo [Zabaleta], Vincent [Kompany] and David [Silva]. Many, many players helped this team to take a step forward and of course, he was one of them.
“When he came here the club was at one level and he helped put the club at a higher level and that’s why all the people and the fans are grateful. Without them it would not be possible to achieve what we have in the last four or five years, that's for sure."
