Playing for England was one long roller-coaster: some ups and downs, but also quite a few moments when you're not really sure if you're enjoying the ride.

Louis van Gaal is one of the most incredible coaches who's done a fantastic job in clubs all over Europe.

It will be a difficult couple of days. It's difficult now and it will be difficult tomorrow.

There are only four trophies available to win at the start of every season and there will be some big teams this year who won't win one at all.

There are some agents who do a good job looking after players but there are others who stifle and mollycoddle them.

It is one of my pet hates when I see players who have agents who do everything for them. They don't know how to set up their own bank accounts, they don't know what they are spending their money on and they can't make their own decisions.

I love the introduction of international managers and players into the Premier League. However Manchester United's principles through their history had always been: they will appoint a British manager, there will always promote youth, they will always play a certain style of football, they will always look to entertain. So to me the idea of appointing a British manager, David Moyes, appointing somebody who deserved that opportunity to step up, was the right principle.
