The English striker, pushed out by Manchester United due to accusations of domestic violence and threats of rape against him, had spent the previous season on loan at Getafe.

Despite this failure, Claudio Lotito, the president of the Biancocelesti, affirmed that he absolutely did not regret the non-signing of the player. The transalpine leader, however, took a dig at the Bradford native, going so far as to describe him as a “mercenary”.
