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.

I can't believe it. I can't believe it. Football. Bloody hell.

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

My greatest challenge is not what's happening at the moment, my greatest challenge was knocking Liverpool right off their f*****g perch. And you can print that.

Only true champions come out and show their worth after defeat- and I expect us to do that.

You have to put all the criticism of this club down to jealousy. United have produced more players who have played for their country, more world-class players and more players who have won European Footballer of the Year than any other team in this country, so we must be doing something right.

Once you shake hands with the devil, you have to accept they are in control.
