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.

Of course I miss playing for Manchester United. I played there for six years and that’s a long time. I am still interested in watching Manchester United and, you never know, maybe in the future I could return to play there. It’s always possible. I want to fulfil my contract here but, in the future, only God knows. I will not say I am not happy here at Real Madrid. I am really happy and everyone knows this is my club but, of course, I miss Manchester United, the boss, the players, because I left family there.

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.

No one did what I did last season and for this, I deserve the Golden Boot and why not the best World Player award?

For me Sir Alex was my father in football. He was crucial in my career and, outside football, was a great human being with me. Talent isn't everything. You can have it from the cradle, but it is necessary to learn the trade to be the best.

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

I dont want to tell my dreams, I want to show them!
