It's not hard at all to make the switch from United to Oranje. For a manager, it's totally different than for a player.
There are so many other examples in the Premier League of players who are the best in their country and make a move because they are really ready for a level higher. If they come to the English top flight, it turns out they need a period to adjust in terms of pace, aggressiveness and physicality, especially as a midfielder.
It doesn't always click for a new player in a new team: you don't always go in and hit the ground running and score all the time.
It's very easy to say take a player, a world-class player out of the system of playing and just push him into a coaching role but coaching is a whole other thing. It's a skill.
I came into the league traded. So I'm not the only person that goes through trade rumors each year.
When David De Gea first came to the Premier League, he was a small boy.
There were no Manchester United fans protesting when I left their club in 2005. I wasn't one of their most important players, so I moved on, worked really hard, got my breaks, and my career took off.
Darren Erstad was special to watch when he moved from center field from first base.
Every player needs time to settle in and to get used to a new club, from knowing the league to the other players - everything.
I think every new player needs time when they come to a new club and a new country, and I certainly did.
It wasn't easy to leave Barcelona. I fulfilled a dream when I moved there - to play in Spain and for the champions - but very few players stay in the same club all their life. To leave is normal.
I've been following some of the coaches, trying to get a little bit more experience, because coaching is very different from being a player.
It'd be best if Cristiano Ronaldo retired at Real Madrid and then worked at the club.
I think players changing coaches is normal.
You see great players, Hall of Fame players that didn't stay with their team.
I've had my processes and opportunities with the Mexican national team. I played a lot of international matches for my country and now I think it's time to give the younger players and generation a chance.
Sometimes you can line up with a quarterback after getting traded or going to a new team, whether it's the draft or whatever, and it not go smooth.
I think sometimes Hall of Famers might get labeled as guys who aren't suited for a coaching job or to be back at the Major League level.
Every player settles into a new league in different ways.
I've been told by many people that a lot of overseas players come into the Premier League, and they take time to integrate, depending on the circumstances.
I was a soccer player, but everyone said I was too physical so I moved over to football.
The first time I saw Werth in a Nationals uniform, it was like, 'Dude, this is weird'.
It takes time to adapt to become an Arsenal player.
There is obviously going to be a transition. There is a transition with every quarterback going from college to the NFL. I'm excited for it.
I played on the Jets during Namath's last four years, and we used to ask ourselves, 'When is it going to happen? When are they finally going to replace him?' We'd wait for it, week by week, but it never happened.
