I don't like losing but I've mellowed. I maybe have a short fuse but it goes away quicker now.

I've never played for a draw in my life.

We got anxious at the end of the weekend in our urgency to try to score the winning goal. Ended up playing far too many long balls forward. That style of play doesn't suit Manchester United. We must continue to play football and enjoy the game. If we do that, eventually things will come right for us.

The philosophy of a lot of European teams, even in home matches, is not to give a goal away.

It's a conflict of parallels.

It was the most emphatic display of selflessness I have seen on a football field. Pounding over every blade of grass, competing as if he would rather die of exhaustion than lose, he inspired all around him.

As with every young player these days, Ronaldo is 18.
