To stay in the game, you have to stay in the game.

I can't believe anyone can have played the game of football as well as Messi.

I loved [Real Madrid]. It was a real experience, playing with a great team. One of the first questions I'm often asked is 'What was Madrid like?' It's got that mystique about it. It's a magical place and a magical team, and everything about it is great.

I think nowadays Manchester United is more competitive than it's ever been. Obviously, over the last one or two decades, they've always had one challenger or two challengers maybe, whether it be Arsenal or Chelsea.

I have never thought of a scenario where international football was not a massive part of our [England] game.

Clubs don't like their players going off to play international matches and you can see a scenario where they eventually start to make it more difficult for international sides to call up players.

Manchester United will always be a competitor, just because of the very size of them.
