Manchester United defender Jonny Evans has recalled leaving the club under Louis van Gaal.
Many believed Van Gaal was wrong to sell the Ulsterman almost ten years ago.
He told manutd.com: "Him (Van Gaal) coming in was a big culture shock for everyone. I had a year left on my contract and he called me in quite early on and said I could leave if the right offer came up and I got the right club. I had a year left on my deal but once a manager says that...
"I could have stayed until the end of that season but I think, by that point, the way the two seasons before had gone, I wouldn't say I wanted to leave but I wasn't afraid of leaving. At that point, I had no fear of leaving."
Evans also said: "I went to say goodbye and shook Giggsy's hand. I remember getting a bit emotional at that point. He was assistant manager then but I wasn't crying over it. I always had a good relationship with Giggsy.
"On the team bus, even though I was a younger player, I often ended up sitting with him for quite a few years together. My locker was quite close to his. I had a good relationship with Giggsy that way and he was Manchester United too for me as he'd been there so long."
