I talked about it with Ferguson and he said we only have two players who always play who are Roy Keane and David Beckham and the rest I rotate a lot. So you will be with Butt, Scholes and the other guys. You will be rotated but I want you in the team.But I had a little bit of fear over my left knee and if they said you are not fit enough and we cant take you because of your knee, I would have a stamp on my forehead saying that I was not suitable for football.With Rangers I thought I had a better chance going there, with a four-year contract, and I was going to play there for sure. The former Netherlands international went on to make 129 appearances for Rangers over four seasons and netted 40 times.He won the Scottish Premiership and League Cup once and the Scottish Cup twice during his time at the Glasgow club.
