I found leaving Manchester United very, very hard.

When I was a child I had a dream to become a football player. I always played as I played when I was a child. I tried to improve. I never dreamt of becoming a professional football player, I dreamed just to play with the best players in the best team. I never dreamed to be paid to play. I would have paid to play an FA Cup Final in front of 80,000 people in Wembley. I just tried to play the wonderful game that football is. So, I hope young players will still have this dream.

I have a car but it's not important.

Some people need to stay at the top. They are afraid to re-start from zero because they fear the critics.

I didn't study; I live.

I stopped playing football because I'd done as much as I could. I needed something which was going to excite me as much as football had excited me.
