The France international, 29, joined United last summer, but a combination of injuries and his new team's form cast a shadow over his debut season.

The 29-year-old France international signed with United last summer, but his first year was marred by injuries and his new team's poor performance.

He lost the opportunity to claim a fourth La Liga championship and a fifth Champions League triumph by quitting Real Madrid.

But he rejects the notion he made the wrong choice, telling BBC Sport: "No, absolutely not."

He added: "In football, you have to challenge yourself and try to improve. I wanted to live another experience after 10 years in the same place.

"The Premier League is absolutely fantastic and Manchester United are a great club. There was no doubt about my decision."
