Well thats no secret. He never wanted to leave.
He was very open about wanting to stay at Barca, but right now Barca are practically shoving him out the door.
He's one of their only players with actual cash value so that they can bring some money through the door and they probably feel that they can replace him from within.
So they get a big Transfer Fee and they get his wages (reportedly £170k/week) off their books.
He's a good player, I dont know why he wants to stay at Barca, that team is a mess and it looks like he's going to get a substantial per week raise at United.
