But it is true that at that time I was depressed.[LNB]"In the eyes of my United team-mates and fans, I felt there was some worry each time I came back from injury.[LNB]"They were scared I would suffer a relapse, so I worried more."[LNB]Difficult decisionBut Saha insists that making up his mind to leave United, who he joined from Fulham in 2004, was still a difficult choice.[LNB]"It was very, very difficult to leave United," he added. "I thought about it a lot because I didn't want to make any mistake with the choice of my new club."[LNB]However, Saha has no regrets about joining Everton and claims his relationship with his new team-mates takes priority over the seven goals he has scored in all competitions this season.[LNB]"Frankly, I don't care about the goals," he said. "What I enjoy is the training with the other players and having the same feelings as my team-mates and I don't ask myself if I will experience a new injury.[LNB]"Before, I had the feeling that I was different from the others. It is not the case anymore.[LNB]"Still being on the pitch after so many injuries proves I am mentally strong. I am one of the miraculously saved players."[LNB]
