If ever there was one player, anywhere in the world, that was made for Manchester United, it was Cantona. He swaggered in, stuck his chest out, raised his head and surveyed everything as though he was asking: 'I'm Cantona. How big are you? Are you big enough for me?'

I am such a bloody talented guy. I might go into painting or something like that.

There has been a lot of expectation on Manchester City and with the spending they have done they have to win something. Sometimes you have a noisy neighbor and have to live with it.

The culmination of three trophies was the pinnacle of my career and it has been rewarded with a knighthood.

It was our worst-ever day, the worst result in my history, ever. Even as a player I don't think I ever lost 6-1.

But there is always that unpredictability about a derby match and that's what it was today.

If my parents were still alive, they would be very proud. They gave me a good start in life, the values that have driven me, and the confidence to believe in myself.
