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 will never reject an autograph, hug or photo. I was also a fan of football.

English fans love spectacular players like Alan Shearer and that is exactly what United have now signed. He has magic in his boots. The first thing you notice about him is that he is incredibly quick and very, very powerful for such a young man. He has great, close control and his technique is excellent. He believes he can do anything with the ball, and that confidence makes him very special indeed.

What I do as an individual player is only important if it helps the team to win. That is the most important thing.

Some fans keep booing and whistling at me because I'm handsome, rich and a great player. They envy me.

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.

For me, he is an exceptional player.
