I still remember when my teacher told me that football wouldn't give me anything to eat

I am always motivated. I am ambitious and I want to always improve.

We've had some great players at this club in my 20 years, but he's up with the best.

Lots of young players have triumphed at United, so why can't it happen to me? I'm not worried I'm young - it's an incentive to do the best I can.

My free-kick secret? I just look at the net and say take the kick, Cristiano.

I know I'm a good professional, I know that no one's harder on me than myself and that's never going to change, under any circumstances.

I've never tried to hide the fact that it is my intention to become the best
