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.

[Wayne Rooney] best tournament was the 2004 European Championships, when he played alongside me and made such a big impact, but it hasn't happened for him at the World Cup for one reason or another.

I wouldn't change my life for the world at the moment.

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

If you only ever give 90% in training then you will only ever give 90% when it matters.

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.

Often the biggest test is when the chips are down and you've got to stick together as a team.
