Manchester United Treble winner Jesper Blomqvist has spoken of having to leave the club earlier than expected.

He started on the left wing during the 1999 Champions League final but that match would be his last for the club.

He spoke about his injuries on the official Manchester United podcast: “I would have definitely cried if I would have known that [the game at the Nou Camp would be his last for United].

“It was a knee injury. The knee started to swell up. It wasn't really something that happened, it just stated to swell up and it never really got better. I kept on training and trying but it was just ballooning up after every session and, after a couple of weeks, I had my first surgery.

“That's my mixed emotions when I look back at my career because I can see what you say, that a lot of players would change to have my career or win all the trophies, but on the other hand I played my last real last competitive game when I was 24 or 25. And I had at least 10 years still to give. And, yeah, that's mixed emotions for me really."
