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 know If I score we're going to win the match.

I'm no longer thinking of Madrid. That dream is dead. The only thing I dream about now is Manchester United and winning the Champions League again in Rome.

When you lose a person you love so much, surviving the loss is difficult.

The last time I cry was when I won the champions. It was one of the best moments in my life.

We saw that he plays with his heart too. He obviously loves the game so much and was distraught to lose in the final. Seeing him cry nearly got me going too.

When you've got a player who does what he does at that pace this late in the game than you know you've got an invaluable talent.
