It's official. Nicky Butt finally brought the curtain down on his 13 year career at Old Trafford by signing a four-year deal with Newcastle.



Nicky Butt's career profile

"Nicky Butt has officially completed his transfer from Manchester United," said a Newcastle spokesman.

"The player has signed a four-year contract and has been given squad number four for the new season."

It is a sad day for United fans but I wish Nicky Butt all the best for the future.  He was an excellent servant for Manchester United and I respect his wish for first-team football.
