Blackpool defender Cathcart has no regrets leaving Man Utd

Blackpool defender Craig Cathcart has no regrets over his move from Manchester United.

Tipped by almost everyone for the drop, Ian Holloway's troops have already chalked up 10 points - including last Sunday's victory at Anfield.

"I saw the end coming at United," he confessed. "I could have moved a year ago but that fell through and when the manager is prepared to sell you then you know it is probably right to move on.

"I did speak to Sir Alex and he said if I stayed, he would give me another chance but the 25-man squad ruling came in at a bad time for me so it made my decision a bit easier.

"Moving to Blackpool has given me a big chance of being in the Northern Ireland squad.

"No-one expected it outside the club, but it was a great result at Anfield. Obviously Liverpool are struggling a bit and we knew going to Anfield was always going to be difficult, but we did well."
