He made that interview in my opinion in the correct timming since he will out England 1 month and the premier league is stopped. The other option would be only in the end of season, in my opinion, it will be to late.

He wanted to left from Manchester in the summer but club and the manager dont let him go saying he is a important players but then he didnot play.

He wants to play more time.

Even before the interview and all him carrer years he was always watch from media.
