“When I won United’s Player of the Year award, I expected the club to come to me.
I said to my agent, ‘Whatever they offer is going to be okay. I want to sign because I’m so happy here.’
I was on holiday saying to my agent, ‘Did they call you?’ ‘No, not yet.’ ‘Next week, did they call you?’ ‘No, they didn’t, Ander.’
The season starts, I was playing, they did not call. What killed me was when they sent me a letter saying they are automatically triggering my fifth year here.
They didn’t even call me to say, ‘Ander, we want you to stay.’ I was so happy, giving everything, but my heart was broken.”
