“When I was at West Ham, I lived on a farm and my team-mates were very jealous of me,” he said. “So the only thing I was thinking about was impressing them, and that might have been doing a skill against a striker.

“We could have lost 3-0, but if I had done a skill, I would tell my teammates to watch the Match of the Day highlights for that skill, and that was my mindset.

“It was about me playing well if I had done a skill with a striker or if I had taken the ball out a few times, and Harry Redknapp was defending me for that, calling me a Rolls-Royce defender, so I wasn't getting that defensive tutoring.

“Also, the media was applauding me for being a different type of centre-back. Then I went to Leeds and asked to speak directly to the manager, so I called David O'Leary and asked him if he was going to train me in defense and teach me how to play. be more aggressive, and I must admit that he and his team constantly drilled me on the training ground.

“Obviously moving from West Ham to Leeds, who were playing in the Champions League, there was a lot more at stake, you take it more seriously and you start to see the game differently, and that was part of my development.

“But then going to Manchester United was totally different. I came into a team that had won five or six Premier League titles, and I'm sitting there without any trophies, let alone Premier League medals, so… I I sat there thinking, 'how can I improve?'

“I remember one game, we played against West Brom, and I tried to make a couple of cross-field passes early to show the people, but they were cut out and almost scored on both occasions, and I remember going into the dressing room at half-time the manager he unloaded on me, which made my ego drop enormously and made me realize what my responsibility was on the team.

“There are many better players on the ball, who are there to create opportunities, and I just need to be good at defending.”
