Madrid and United are the two biggest clubs in the world and it’s a real 50-50. It could go either way. Manchester was my home and still is in my heart. I love it. Because when people treat you very well you never forget that. And I will never forget United, the people who work there and the supporters. So I am so happy to be going back to Manchester.

I don't understand referees. It appears like some players can't even be touched, but in my case, everyone can hit me as hard as they can.

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 prefer other people to make judgments about the way I play and to characterize me, rather me describe myself.

After we played Sporting last week, the lads in the dressing room talked about him constantly, and on the plane back from the game they urged me to sign him. That's how highly they rated him.

Manchester United is still in my heart. Disappointed they didn't win the title but they are still the kings of Premier League.

I know that people have different ways to see me but I'm used to it.
