00:00Looking ahead to Tottenham, you actually sat down with Thomas Frank in September,
00:05had a long chat with him out of their first Champions League game.
00:08I just wonder how you reflect on that chat,
00:10and I suppose it shows how life can change in a short space of time
00:14you're now managing against him this weekend.
00:16Yeah, certainly could change it.
00:19I really enjoyed it, actually.
00:21We got on really well.
00:23It was the first time I've met him really properly,
00:25and we had a good chat just about general football kind of things
00:30and a little bit on processes and ideas a little bit,
00:33but it was really accommodating, actually, and I enjoyed it,
00:38so it'll be good to see him again.
00:40It's 19, just over 19 and a half years ago since you signed for Manchester United from Tottenham.
00:47I know you, of course, played against them many a time,
00:49but you talk about your love for the club and how you fell in love with Manchester United.
00:53Can you pinpoint when that was after you made the move from London to Manchester
00:58and maybe when that moment was for you?
01:00Yeah, it was pretty instant.
01:01I mean, I've got really fond memories of Tottenham and being at the club.
01:07I was there for a short time.
01:09What feels now like a short time when you look back,
01:12but I really enjoyed it.
01:15Good team, Martin Yall was manager,
01:17and there was a lot of things that I learned at the club in that short period of time.
01:23But, yeah, I've said it enough times,
01:25I think coming here was a jump, and a big jump at the time,
01:29and I certainly felt that pretty quickly.
01:34I think once you step inside this place as a footballer,
01:38then it kind of turns you.
01:42So pretty much from the first day,
01:43walking into the dressing room, meeting the manager,
01:46and from then on in, that was me.
