The better the opposition put in front of you, the better your team plays.

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

I want to be a top-flight football player, so I lead the life that enables me to be that type of player. I prefer to be seen in a decent light rather than an indecent one.

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.

Everton have a healthy list of injuries.

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

For me there's nothing better than putting the white shirt on for England and playing for England. I'd get worried if it wasn't like that.
