The France international has been one of the Bianconeri’s stalwarts since his arrival from Old Trafford in 2012, and insists that he feels valued in Turin – unlike at the Premier League side.
“[Worst moment?] My time at Manchester United,” he told SportsMail.
“Of course when you are at such a big club you understand you need to be patient for your chance, but I did not feel respected or valued as a player or a man.”
The midfielder went on to praise his teammate Pirlo and explain his career highlights so far.
“I am lucky that I get to play with my hero – Andrea Pirlo. I make no secret I want to become like him.
“He has won everything, and he has won it playing such an important role.
