Teddy Sheringham explains his move from Man Utd to Tottenham

Teddy Sheringham left Manchester United in 2001 after four successful years, during which he won six major trophies, including the Treble in the 1998/99 season. Despite being the club's top scorer in his final season, he chose to return to Tottenham Hotspur, where he had previously played. His decision was influenced by a desire to spend more time with his son and his disappointment over limited playing time in crucial matches, particularly in the Champions League. Sheringham's departure coincided with the arrival of Ruud van Nistelrooy, but he clarified that the Dutch striker was not a direct competitor for his position. Sir Alex Ferguson acknowledged Sheringham's contributions and recognized the appeal of the opportunity at Tottenham, suggesting it was a move he could not refuse. Sheringham's return to Spurs marked a significant moment in his career, as he aimed to rekindle his connection with the club and family.
