“Then Arsene [Wenger] came to sign me. At that time Arsenal didn’t want to get into a big fight with Barcelona because they already took Cesc.

“So they were trying to arrive to a deal with Barcelona and it took more time than we wanted to so Manchester United arrived and said, ‘Listen, we want you, lets make a decision right now,’ and I decided to go there.”

“And it’s true that later on I think Arsene also tried to sign Messi – but he didn’t have a chance.

“So then the good part of that is all of us went back to Barcelona, we played together again for the first team of Barcelona.”
