Sir Alex has a special place in my life. In fact, he was the main man. I was not famous, I was not a star. I arrived at Old Trafford as just another young talent. He was the one who told me to do all the right things. He gave me the opportunity to play in one of the biggest clubs in the world. So he is one of the most important people in the world for me. I worked with Sir Alex for a few years and I know he deserves ­everything that he has achieved in his career. He works so hard, he is clever, he has experience, he is a human guy.

I'm sure that I'm a winner person. I'm sure that I win more than lose.

I'm running out of words to describe this lad.

If you think you're perfect already, then you never will be.

I want to be one of the best players around in two or three years time, to be a decisive footballer.

I enjoy been on holidays because you can do whatever you want and people can't say anything to you.

I do my profession, my job, I give me all for my club...the rest doesn't matter to me. I don't care what happens on the outside.
