and he goes to their rivals on a free
But what did he owe United? He offered to play there for free apparently (thanks for the link Dean) and they didn't want him. His concern, like that of any other free agent, should be finding the situation that works best for him. This idea that any professional athlete owes something to a team that has made the choice to cut them loose is ridiculous.
